4.3 After your ride
DANGER
Brake failure or reduced braking power due to dirty brake pads or disc rotors!
Brake pads and disc rotors must be free from lubricating substances such as grease, oil (also skin oil), wax, silicone etc.!
Brake pads or disc rotors contaminated in this way must no longer be used!
4.3.1 Cleaning your bicycle
After your ride, you should clean your bike thoroughly using a soft cloth and clear water. Never use a high pressure
washer!
Stubborn bits of dirt can be removed with a gentle cleaning agent. In this case, it is best to use washing up liquids for
domestic needs. Pay attention to the notes and recommendations for use printed on the respective cleaner.
In addition, you will find numerous cleaning and care products for your bike on www.rosebikes.com.
After having cleaned your bike, you must lubricate the chain (see “4.3.2 Chain maintenance” on page 41).
Pay particular attention to the suspension fork and make sure the area is clean. Dirt in this area may cause premature
wear and thus a loss of performance of your suspension fork.
4.3.2 Chain maintenance
The bicycle chain is the most important part of the drivetrain system. An oily chain attracts dirt and thus accelerates wear.
Please regularly follow the steps below to ensure the long and reliable service life of your chain:
1. Clean the chain with an oil-soaked cloth.
2. Lubricate the chain using chain oil.
3. Wipe away excess oil with a dry, lint-free cloth.
4.3.3 Parking your bike
Bicycles should always be protected against falling down. Especially for lightweight bikes, it is often enough just to fall
down from a standing position to permanently damage the frame or components.
4.4 After a crash
DANGER
Damaged or broken components can cause serious crashes!
Crashes or exceptional stresses may cause unnoticed and invisible damages.
• Riding with damaged, bent or even torn parts is extremely dangerous.
• After a fall, you should have your bike and its components checked by the ROSE service team or a qualified bicycle
mechanic.
• Never fix bent parts yourself, but replace them for your own safety.
Damages on aluminium parts are indicated by dents, cracks, deformations or discolorations. If you notice any sign of
damage, the component or bike must no longer be used. If you suspect damage, you should always consult the ROSE
service team or a qualified bicycle mechanic.
