The rims for rim brakes are marked to
show where the brakes rub against the
rim. On the rim surface there are points
or grooves which help you gauge the
level of wear.
The rim must be changed when the
points or grooves can no longer be seen
in one or several places. Have the rims
regularly inspected by a FLYER special
-
ist retailer, especially when replacing/
exchanging
brakepads.
13.2Tyresandinnertubes
Tyres, like many other parts, are subject
to wear and tear. Check the prole
depth, tyre pressure and state of the lat-
eral tyre surfaces at regular intervals
and take note of signs of brittleness or
wear
.
Donotexceedthemaximumtyrepres-
sure
 recommended when inating the
tyres. Otherwise this could lead to a tyre
exploding.
The tyres must be pumped up with at
least the stated minimum tyre pressure.
The tyre might detach from the rim if the
tyre pressure is too low.
The values for the permitted maximum
and minimum pressure are imprinted on
the lateral tyre surface.
Tyres may only be changed for identi
-
cal, original tyres. The bicycle’s handling
could
 otherwise be negativelya󰀨ected.
This may lead to accidents.
You should only replace damaged parts
with original spare parts.
Most FLYERS use car-type valves or Schrader
valves. This valve type allows you to top up the
tyrepressure ofyourFLYERE-bikeatmostll
-
ing stations. Specialist retailers will let you know
which
typeofairpumptsyourcar-typevalves.
Tubes may only be changed for identical, original
tubes.
13.3Dealingwithaattyre
Correct and safe repair of a at tyre requires
specialised E-bike knowledge and special tools.

is cleaned on a regular basis. Warm wa-
ter with a light cleaning agent is suitable
for cleaning this part of the bicycle.
Full suspension bicycles are not suitable
for use with trailers and child bike trail-
ers! The bearings and attachments are
not designed to withstand this sort of
force.
This could result in strong wear
and breaks with serious consequences.
Suspension seat posts have proven their value in
both daily use and on tours.
Some suspension seat posts can be individually
adjustedtotthedriver.AskyourFLYERspecial
-
ist retailer for details.
13. Wheelsandtyres
The wheels are subject to a great deal of strain
through the uneven characteristics of the ground
and the weight of the rider.
• Aftertherst200kilometres,thewheelsmust
be checked by a specialist and re-centred if
necessary.
• The tension of the spokes must be checked at
regular intervals. Loose or damaged spokes
must he retightened or replaced by a FLYER
specialist retailer.
13.1Checkingtherims
The rim is subject to wear when a rim brake is
installed.
A severely worn rim is less stable and
more prone to damage. A bent, torn or
broken rim may lead to major accidents
and severe falls. Do not continue to use
your FLYER if you notice damage to one
of the rims. Please allow a FLYER spe
-
cialised retailer to check the rims.
