BOTTOM BRACKET ASSEMBLY
Your bike is fitted with an encased bracket assembly;
it is only necessary to try whether backlash has been
created occasionally.
This type of bottom bracket assembly is
maintenance-free.
Caution: The fixed pan is provided with screw thread.
PEDALS
• Turn each pedal and check it for dragging or strange
noises. The pedal bearings require maintenance only seldom, however, if necessary, read below.
• Unscrew the pedal from the crank, remove the protective lid, locking nut and sealing. Unscrew the cone and pull the bolt from
the pedal core. Clean the lubricant off all the components and check for wear.
• Lubricate the bearing rings and put back the same number of balls on both sides. Install the cone back on the screw, turn the
screw to bring the cone close to the balls. Put back the sealing and locking nut. Check for backlash and dragging. Modify the
cone, tighten the locking nut and install the pedals on the cranks.
CHILDREN‘S BIKES
Children‘s bikes are produced in accordance with European
standard EN 14765 that applies to bicycles with a maximum
saddle height higher than 435 mm and lower than 635 mm.
Children‘s bikes are intended for use in playgrounds and
enclosed areas and solely under the supervision of the
parents or childminder. If you allow a child to ride a bike
without supervision, an injury or even fatality may occur.
NEVER LET CHILDREN RIDE WITHOUT SUPERVISION!
We strongly recommend using a helmet of an approved type. The recommended load of a children‘s bike is up to 25 kg, including
bags. Please pay attention to correct adjustment of your new bike before the first ride.
Adjust the height of the saddle so that the child can reach the handlebars comfortably without being excessively upright or, on
the contrary, “lying” on the bike. Never pull the handlebars above the marked line (grooving and STOP or MAX sign). Explain to the
child thoroughly that the bike is provided with a counter-acting rear brake. The brake lever for the front brake is positioned on the
right-hand side of the handlebars. Never use only the front brake for braking.
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT OF CHILDREN‘S BIKES
A children‘s bike is provided with stabilization (balance) wheels from
the manufacturer. These stabilization wheels are used to allow your
child to ride more easily. They stabilize the lack of balance of a young
cyclist and help him/her to learn to control the bike better and more
easily. The young cyclist can concentrate rather on controlling the
bike and learning how to brake on a bike. It is necessary to check the
stabilization wheels for loosening of the screws mounting the supports
to the bike and for sufficient mounting of the wheels to the supports.
Insufficiently tightened screws may cause incorrect operation of the
