Chain
Due to its use the chain is subject to wear and tear. This
depends on maintenance and conditions of use of the bike
(amount of kilometers, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).
Cleaning and greasing will help to prolong its life but you
will have to replace the chain when reaching the wear limit.
Sprockets, chainrings and pulleys
Due to its use sprockets, chainrings and pulleys are subject
to wear and tear.
This depends on maintenance and conditions of use of the
bike (amount of kilometers, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).
Cleaning and greasing will help to prolong its life but you
will have to replace the chain when reaching the wear limit.
Shifting-and brake cables
All cables must be surveyed regularly and changed if neces-
sary. This can happen especially when the bike is often stan-
ding outside in weather.
Brakepads
All brake pads, no matter if rim-brake, disc-brake or internal
brake are subject to wear and tear due to their use.
This depends on maintenance and conditions of use of the
bike (amount of kilometers, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).
Check your brake pads regularly and replace them if neces-
sary.
Rims
When using a rim brake not only the brake pads are subject
to wear and tear. Also the rim.
Because of this please check regularly the rims e.g. when
inflating the tires.
In case of small cracks or deformation of the brake sur-
face of the rim while inflating the tires replace the rim
immediately.
Rims with wear-out indicators enable the bike user to
check easily the condition of the rim. Please have a
look concerning this issue on the sticker on the rim.
Tires
Due to their use tires are subject to wear and tear. This
depends on the use of the bike and is influenced by the
riding style.
Aggressive braking will reduce the lifetime of the tire
dramatically.
In addition check the air pressure regularly and inflate
the tire according to the pressure recommended by the
producer of the tire which is imprinted on the sidewall
of the tire.
Light Systems and reflectors
A well functioning light system is of a very high impor-
tance for your riding safety in public traffic.
Before every ride check front and tail light and the
condition of the reflectors.
Light bulbs are subject of wear and tear and we recom-
mend to take some replacements with you in case of
failure.
