To ret the light cable, the connecting terminal
of the hub dynamo has to be tted on the right
(facing forwards). Re-attach the connections cor-
rectly and check that the lighting is working prop-
erly. To do this, turn the front wheel and check if
the light comes on.

In order to remove the front wheel,
you rst have to remove the connec-
tion of the light cable.
The lighting system is a key part
and it is vital that it is proper working
condition! Only have check-up and
servicing work done by authorised specialist
retailers after failures or temporary problems!
Clean the reectors and headlights of
the lighting system at regular intervals!
Warm water and washing up liquid
sufce for this job. Keep contact points clean
and conductive with a suitable maintenance oil!
Your bicycle is tted with modern lighting
technology. In addition to the conventional
features, it also offers you safety functions
such as a standlight. This means that if you
are stationary at night, e.g. at a trafc light,
you are still visible to other public road trafc
participants.
Equally, some models are equipped with the
newly developed daytime lights. These are
supplied by various energy sources depend-
ing on the riding situation. For more on this,
please read the instructions supplied by the
component manufacturer.
Mudguard
Mudguards are xed correctly in place with spe-
cial braces. If the inside of the mudguard runs
parallel to the tyre forming a ring shape, the brac-
es are perfectly positioned. During normal use,
the mudguard should not loosen. In the case that
an object becomes jammed between the mud-
guard and the tyre, the mudguard is tted with
a safety fastening. This releases the mudguard
from its holder to prevent a fall.
You have to stop riding immediately
if a foreign body is trapped between
the tyre and the mudguard. The for-
eign body has to be removed before you can
continue on your ride. Otherwise, there could
be a risk of a fall and serious injuries.
On no account should you continue
riding with a loose mudguard brace,
as this could become wedged in the
wheel and jam it.
Damaged mudguards have to be replaced by
a specialist retailer before riding again. In addi-
tion, you should also regularly check whether the
braces are xed securely in the safety releases.
Re-locking a safety release
The diagram features a brace attached with a
plastic clip.
• This clip is locked into the stay on the fork.
• The mudguards are aligned in such a way that
they do not contact the tyres.
Transporting baggage changes the
behaviour of your bicycle. In particu-
lar, it increases the braking distance,
which can lead to serious injuries. Please ad-
just your riding style to this, i.e. brake earlier
and anticipate more sluggish steering. Only
transport baggage on racks intended for this
purpose! Never attach a baggage rack to the
Rack
