Important: Before heading out, please check that all of the
screw ttings and quick release skewers on your mountain bike
are tight. Test out the suspension to ensure that it is working
correctly and has sufcient suspension tension.
Important: In your own interest, we would recommend that
you have your bike inspected after approx. 100 km. Bikes cannot
correctly adjusted without a certain period of running-in.
Mechanical components, like brakes, gears and bearings have to
be checked and readjusted after a certain time. An initial
inspection by qualied technicians will guarantee that your
bike has a long life so that you can enjoy unlimited cycling
enjoyment.
Important: Keep a note of your frame number!
The frame number is generally located on the
bottom bracket – the position may vary with different
manufacturers (seat pin, head tube). It is easiest to note down
your frame number on the invoice for your bike.
Attention: Mountain bikes, which do not have lights, do not
comply with the requirements of § 67 of the German Road Trafc
Licensing Regulations (StVZO). Please be aware that these
sports bikes are not permitted to travel on public roads.
Attention: It is essential that you also read the manufactur-
ers’ operating manuals to fully understand all of the technical
features of your bike.
Have fun with your new bike!
