To check whether the lever is securely locked apply
pressure to the end of the hand lever and try to turn
it while it is closed. If you can turn the lever around,
open it and increase the preload. Screw the tighten-
ing nut on the opposite side clockwise by half a turn.
Close the quick-release lever and check it again for
tightness.
Finally lift the pedelec a few centimeters, so that the
wheel no longer touches the ground, and hit the tire
from above. If it is properly fastened, the wheel will
remain firmly fixed in the drop-outs of the frame or
fork without producing any rattling.
If your seat post is equipped with a quick-release
mechanism, check whether the saddle is firmly fixed
by trying to twist it relative to the frame.

To be on the safe side you can replace
the quick-releases by special locks.
They can only be opened and closed
with a special, coded key or an Allen key. If you
are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact
your CENTURION dealer.
Adjusting the CENTURION
bike to the rider
Your body height and proportions are decisive for the
frame size of your CENTURION bike. Pay particular
attention to the fact that there is enough clearance
between your crotch and the top tube so that you
do not hurt yourself when you have to get off your
pedelec quickly.
By choosing a specific type of bike you roughly deter-
mine the posture you will be riding in
(f+g)
. However,
some components of your CENTURION bike are
especially designed so that you can adjust them to
your body proportions up to a certain degree. This
includes the seat post, the handlebars and the stem
as well as the brake levers.
As all works require know-how, experience, suit-
able tools and skills, you should restrict yourself to
adjusting your seating position
(h)
. Contact your
CENTURION dealer, if you are not happy with your
seating position or if you want something changed.
They will see to your wishes the next time you leave
your CENTURION bike at the workshop, e.g. for the
first inspection.
After any adjustment/assembly work, be sure to
make a short functional check as described in the
chapter “Before every ride” and do a test ride on your
CENTURION bike in an area free of traffic.
