14. Wheelsandtyres
The wheels are subject to a great deal of strain
due to 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.
14.1 Checking the rims
The stability of the rim decreases if it is subjected
toheavyloads,e.g.duringo󰀨-roaduse,andthe
susceptibility to damage increases. A bent, torn or
broken rim may lead to major accidents and seve-
re falls. Do not continue to use your FLYER if you
notice damage to one of the rims. Please allow
a FLYER specialised retailer to check the rims.
14.2 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 ex-
ploding.
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 replaced with 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lling
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.

Tubeless-readytyres
Some FLYER E-MTBs are tted with tube-
less-ready tyres so that they are ready to be used
o󰀨-road too. This allows you to enjoy tried-and-
tested and simple handling, for instance when it
comes to hose repair, but you can also benet
from the improved driving performance of tube-
less tyres if you wish. The covers installed at the
