Transmission
Check that the chain is on the front chainring and rear cassette. If the bike has
fallen off on the derailleur side, damage may have occurred. Try shifting gears
and make sure that the rear derailleur and/or dropout, which may be bent, are
not too close to the spokes of the rear wheel.
WARNING! Rear derailleur bent: If the rear derailleur is bent towards the spokes,
there is a risk of a fall. Do not ride the bike if the rear derailleur is bent. Contact
your dealer or a professional mechanic.
Other checks
- Make sure that the saddle has not rotated as a result of the fall. It must be
aligned with the top tube.
- Check for loose screws or components.
- Operate the brake levers to ensure that the brakes are working properly.
Use your bicycle only when you have checked that it is undamaged and in good
working order. Avoid putting stress on your bicycle for the rest of the journey,
e.g. do not brake sharply or get out of the saddle. If you do not want to take
risks, complete the journey using another means of transport.
If you nd any problems, stop riding immediately. Even if you do not nd
any visible damage, pay attention to any unusual noises that may indicate a
problem.
If you have any doubts about the condition of your bike after a crash, take it to
a Megamo dealer for a professional check. Hidden damage can be dangerous
and can cause sudden failure and loss of control. It is crucial to keep your bike
in good condition to avoid serious injury or death.
