Safekeeping and storing your
CENTURION bike
If you regularly look after your CENTURION bike dur-
ing the season, you will not need to take any special
measures when storing it for a short time, apart from
securing it against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well
aerated place.
If you want to store your CENTURION bike for a
longer period of time, e.g. over the winter months,
please observe the following things: Inflated inner
tubes tend to gradually lose air when the bike is
not used for a long time. If your CENTURION bike
is left standing on flat tires for an extended period,
this can cause damage to the structure of the tires.
It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the entire
CENTURION bike or to check the tire pressure reg-
ularly
(b) . Clean your CENTURION bike and protect
it against corrosion. Your CENTURION dealer has
special cleaning agents, e.g. spray wax.
Remove the seat post
(c) and let moisture that may
have entered dry. Spray a little finely atomized oil
into the metal seat tube. However, do not apply oil
in a carbon seat tube. Shift the gear to the smallest
chainwheel and the smallest sprocket. This relaxes
the cables and the springs.

There are hardly any waiting times at
your CENTURION dealer during the
winter months. In addition, many of the
CENTURION dealers offer an annual check-up
at a special price. Benefit from the idle time and
ask your CENTURION dealer to do the scheduled
maintenance work!
