2.1.5 Accessories and modications
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Many cyclists like to modify their bikes and
customise them to their particular wishes.
Forks, saddles, handlebars, pedals, brakes,
tyres and suspension elements - there are
many possibilities for changing your bike
subsequently.
Working on bikes, including work which
is assumed to be very simple, requires
sound training, sound knowledge and a
great deal of experience.
Unprofessional work on your bike can
lead to dangerous riding situations, fal-
ling, accidents and material damage.
•
Only use accessories that have been certied
according to ISO standards. Bike compu-
ters and bottle holders are an exception,
provided they are selected and tted by a
specialist dealer.
•
Consult your specialist dealer when choo-
sing accessories for your bicycle.
•
Our company prohibits replacing the front
fork for modication purposes. If replacing
the fork becomes necessary during repairs,
only a fork may be used that is identical in
construction and has been approved by our
company for your bicycle model.
Consult our authorised specialist dealer.
•
The expansion of electrical drives to any of
our bic
ycles is not allowed.
•
You may not change the condition of any
part of your bicycle.
