Fenders/wheel protections
If you want to mount fenders on your CENTURION
bike, ask your CENTURION dealer for advice. There
are removable mudguards
(a)
, also referred to as
clip-on mudguards, as well as firmly attached models
that provide more protection.
Retrofittable fenders for a fix fastening are usually
made of plastics and are secured in the correct posi-
tion by means of additional stays. The length of the
stay is perfect when the bottom edge of the fender
runs at an approx. distance of 15 mm in parallel to
the tire, i.e. concentrically, equidistantly.
For safety reasons the front wheel stays must have
security fastenings. They prevent the tire from being
blocked by impurities taken up by the front wheel
from the ground. In this case the security fastening
frees the stay and hereby prevents a possible acci-
dent. The plug connection can easily be refastened.

Damaged fenders should be replaced in
any case. Risk of an accident!
Transporting baggage
There are various ways of carrying baggage on your
CENTURION bike. Your choice will primarily depend
on the weight and volume of the baggage and on
the bike you want to use. Using a rucksack
(b)
is a
convenient way of transporting baggage on a bike.
However, your CENTURION bike is fitted with a pan-
nier rack
(c)
for longer cycling tours or if you intend
to take heavy and bulky items with you.
It is advisable to carry baggage in stable pannier
bags with a very low center of gravity.
Another possibility of transporting baggage are
handlebar bags
(d)
. They often have snap buckles
for quick mounting and removal. Handlebar bags
are particularly suitable for valuables, photographic
equipment and maps that should be within easy
reach.
When buying bags, make sure they are watertight
so that your belongings are protected and you will
not have any unpleasant surprises after the first rain
shower.
Lowrider bags fitted at the front of the bike are
mounted to the fork by means of special holders. If
you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact
your CENTURION dealer.
