The way in which the user is able
to grip the handrims is influenced
by the handrim’s material and its
distance from the wheel. Cel-
lular rubber and plastic coated
handrims are available as options.
Cellular rubber/ plastic
coated handrims increases
the friction.
Violent braking can cause
mild friction burns
(e.g. blisters).
Be aware that when
passing through narrow
spaces there is a risk
of getting your fingers
caught. There is also a
risk of fingers getting
caught in the spokes.
If there is a risk of the
user’s fingers getting
caught in the spokes
we recommend spoke
guards.
