Retrofitted accessories, such as fend-
ers, pannier racks etc. can impair the
functioning of your CENTURION bike.
Ask your CENTURION dealer for advice before
mounting any kind of accessories to your bike.
A
Before buying any additional bells or
lighting accessories, inform yourself
thoroughly whether they are permitted
and tested and accordingly approved for use on
public roads. Make sure additional battery/ac-
cumulator-powered lamps are marked with the
wavy line and the letter âKâ.
Bar ends
Flat handlebars can be equipped with bar ends
(e)
. Some thin-walled handlebars (primarily those
made of aluminum or carbon fiber) require additional
handlebar plugs or other special parts to prevent
the handlebars from being crushed or broken. Not
all handlebars are approved for use with bar ends.
Be sure to have them mounted by your CENTURION
dealer!
Bicycle locks
Do not forget to take a high quality D-
(f)
or chain
lock with you on your ride. The only way to effectively
protect your CENTURION bike against theft is to lock
it to an immovable object.
Puncture kit
The most important accessories for a successful
cycle tour are a tire pump and a small tool kit. The
tool kit should include two plastic tire levers, the most
commonly used Allen keys, a spare tube, a tire repair
kit, your mobile phone, if necessary, and a little cash.
You will be better prepared in case of a puncture.
Cycle computers
Electronic tachometers determine the travelling and
average speed, the number of kilometers per day
and year, and also the travelling time
(g)
. Top-end
models show the highest speed that was reached,
the difference in height, the cadence or (with a spe-
cial chest strap) your pulse rate as well.
Today, there are global positioning systems (GPS)
and specific power meters for optimal training on the
market which are compatible with your CENTURION
bike.
Kickstand
Bike kickstands
(h)
are intended to prevent your bike
from falling over when it is parked. The kickstand
should be chosen according to the kind of use that
it will get.
Your CENTURION dealer would be glad to advice
you in detail about a suitable type of kickstand. Have
a kickstand installed by your CENTURION dealer.
