BEFORE STARTUP
IMPORTANT: the singletrailer & streamliner are especially designed for
sports cycling and rough terrain. Thus, using them requires a
certain experience and confidence of the cyclist over these conditions.
You should take the following points into consideration before using the
trailers with a child.
•
Test some routes with the trailers and a load before using them with a child
for the first time.
•
Beginners should avoid using the trailers off-road.
•
The reaction possibilities with a trailer are restricted and the braking be-
havior is reduced considerably compared to riding without a trailer. In addi-
tion breaking distance is increased, compared to use without trailer
attached.
•
Your bike should be in a full fuctioning condition; especially the brakes. This
will help to ensure your safety.
STARTUP
IMPORTANT: Check the following before each ride.
1. [singletrailer] The shock is hung up into the appropriate position at the link-
age. There are two possible positions. For road riding one can select the
position 1, in this position the trailer has 14 cm suspension travel, and the
center of gravity is lower. In the second position the trailer has 20 cm of
travel, and the center of gravity is slightly higher. For off-road trips this po-
sition is to be preferred. The quick-release must always be locked!
2. [singletrailer] The upper drawbar is folded, the main drawbar is folded for-
ward, and then the upper drawbar downward until the quick-release engag-
es with the hooks of the main drawbar. Close the quick-release afterwards.
The quick-release must be always locked carefully!
3. [singletrailer] The rear wheel is put with the quick-release rod (with pres-
sure into the axle center) into the socket at the linkage. It is important that
the wheel engages completely and you cannot pull it out! You recognize
this by the fact that the pin completely disappears in the axle center!
[streamliner] Make sure that the quick-release fastener at the rear wheel is
firmly locked.
4. [streamliner] Please note that with each assembly the drawbar is fully
overlapping in the frame. After aligning the drawbar in the frame tighten the
screws with a torque of 9Nm and insert the safety pin through frame AND
drawbar.
5. [streamliner] ergonomics:
a. Slide the stem on the drawbar, so that the child takes a comfortable seating
position. The child should be able to reach comfortably the handlebar, with-
out sitting overstretched. For this loosen the 2 screws on the lower surface
of the porch and shift it. Tighten the screws with a torque of 8Nm!
b Please adjust the saddle height correctly. The child should touch the pedal
with the heel when the leg is straightened. If necessary you need a longer
seat post with advanced age of the child. Never pull out the seat post over
the minimum label.
6. [singletrailer & streamliner] Pull the seat post out of the bicycle. Take out
the coupling, which is fastened to the seat post, out of the cardan joint and
stick it onto the seat post. The coupling must fit exactly onto the seat
post. Therefore absolutely make sure to purchase the correct coupling. The
clip should not have a play on the seat post. It should also not be bend open
more than 1mm, to make the mounting easier. The clamping torque of the
screw may not exceed 9Nm. Put back the seat post into the bike again and
position the coupling scarcely as possible over the framework, however so
that you can lower the seat post if necessary still some centimeters going
downhill. The tube of the coupling must show straight to the rear, and then
you tighten the screw with a 5mm allen key.
WARNING: Don’t mount the singletrailer & streamliner to carbon or other
lightweight construction seat posts.
7. [singletrailer & streamliner] Now you can couple the trailer to the bicycle.
The quick-release of the cardan joint must be open and the coupling parts
need to be clean. The cardan joint is pushed over the coupling pipe; until it is
completely plugged in (the cardan joint nearly contacts the seat post cou-
pling now). The easiest this can be done is if the trailer stands on its stand
and the bicycle is led to the coupling with one hand, while the other hand
aligns the coupling to the bicycle. Make sure that the singletrailer or stream-
liner hangs straight behind the bike. Close the quick-release fastener now.
Always secure by all three safety devices:
a Always stick the fastening bolt through the coupling.
b The quick-release fastener needs to be attached securely and closed accu-
rately.
c [singletrailer] Always secure with the safety rope! This should be fastened
at the frame and not to the seat post. Thus, also a possible break of the seat
post can be secured. Depending upon frame size and - design the safety
rope may be too long, in that case simply wind it two or three times around
the seattube.
