Do not pedal backwards while chang-
ing gears as this could damage the
gear system. Changes to the setup
of your gears should only be made in small
steps and with the greatest of care.
Despite a perfectly set up chain gear
system, a bike chain crossing at an
angle can lead to noises during rid-
ing. These noises are normal and do not
cause any damage to the gear components.
With less angled running of the chain in a dif-
ferent gear, this noise will no longer appear.
Incorrect setup work can lead to the chain
coming off the sprockets and causing a fall.
If you are at all unsure, contact a specialist
retailer who can set this up for you.
The use of spoke guards is required.
For City bikes, Trekking bikes and
Youth bikes they are mandatory. Oth-
erwise, only minor setup errors could lead to
the chain or the entire rear derailleur falling
between the sprockets and the spokes.

Modern bicycle technology is high-
ly efcient but also sensitive. You
should service your bicycle on a reg-
ular basis. This requires specialist knowledge
and tools. Allow your specialist retailer to do
this type of work on your bicycle! You can get
more information about your bicycle‘s parts
as well as cleaning and maintenance in the
operating manual provided by your manufac-
turer or on the manufacturer‘s website.
Only exchange or replace compo-
nents of your bicycle with components
of the same brand and type. The
guarantee and warranty will otherwise expire.

dealer.
• Check your bicycle at intervals of approx.
300 to 500 km or every three to six months.
• Check that all screws, nuts and quick re-
leases are secure.
• Use a torque spanner to tighten screw con-
nections.
• Service and lubricate the movable parts
(except the brake surfaces) according to
manufacturer information.
• Have chips in the paint mended.
• Have defective and worn parts replaced.
Gears are vital to your safety on
the bike. Please read the operating
instructions supplied to you by your
manufacturer and familiarise yourself with
how to operate the bicycle and switch gears
before your rst ride. Allow your specialist re-
tailer to undertake any work on your bicycle‘s
gears! Work that is improperly carried out en-
dangers your safety on the bicycle!
