O2feel reseller after travelling 100 kilometres and,
if necessary, get them realigned. After that, make
sure they are checked regularly when carrying out
maintenance on your bike.
The wheel can be attached to the frame and
suspension fork with a quick tightening thru-axle.
Checking the hub
Follow these steps to check the hub: Lift the wheel
and spin it around.
When you do this, make sure the wheel continues
to turn for a few spins, then stops. If it stops
suddenly, a bearing is damaged.
To check to see if the hub is loose, try to move the
wheel sideways (both ways) in the fork or in the
rear structure.
If there is some movement between the bearings,
or if the wheel does not turn easily, ask a specialist
reseller to adjust the hub.
Checking the rims
A worn rim loses stability and is therefore more
likely to get damaged. A misshapen, cracked or
broken rim can cause serious accidents. Stop
riding the bike if you notice any changes to the
rim. Ask your approved O2feel reseller to check
the damaged rim.

2.5.4 Headset
The headset is what holds the fork in the frame.
When it is in the right position, the headset can
turn easily. It must not be loose however.
The headset goes through a lot thanks to rough
impacts. It can become loose or get messed up.
Check the position of the headset regularly. The
headset can break if it is not adjusted properly or is
too tight. This is why it should always be adjusted
by your approved O2feel reseller.
