NORMAL WEAR
Some components on your Trivel will wear
due to their normal usage. Brake pads, chain,
tires and rims, amongst other, are subject to
normal wear.
Those components should be replaced
before they are completely worn out to
preserve safety and perf ormance as well as
to prevent damage to other components of
your equipment.
Components subject to normal wear usually
have a wear indicator integrated or at least a
dedicated tool available to check wear.
Periodic inspection of your Trivel by
a qualied technician is
recommended to spot worn out
components and identify
compatible replacement parts
Brake pads
Replace disc brake pads when material
thickness reached 1 mm or less.
Chain
It is generally recommended to replace
a chain before it has been stretched by
0.75% of its initial length. A qualified
technician has the knowledge and tool to
measure your chain stretch.
Tires
Replace tire when thread is not
visible anymore or if it has suffered an
unrepairable puncture or damage.
Rims
Replace a rim (or complete wheelset)
when it was damaged to a point where it
is not repairable by a qualified technician
or when it shows signs of structural
failure such as cracks around the spoke
holes.
