Check the position again and adjust if necessary. Always
make sure the seat is no higher than the mark on the seat
post. By loosening the seat clamp bolt (B) you can tilt the
seat and adjust it forwards and backwards. After adjusting
everything, tighten all bolts and nuts again. Check regularly
between journeys whether nuts and bolts are still tight.
3.HANDLEBAR
The position of the handlebar determines the bike's
seating comfort and determines the pressure on the hands
and back. The handlebar are both tiltable and adjustable in
height, allowing you to adopt both a sporty and an upright
sitting position.
Adjusting the steering angle: Loosen the bolts (C) at the
front of the stem a few turns using an Allen key. When the
bolts are unscrewed, the handlebar can be placed at the
desired angle. Then tighten the bolts crosswise. This
handlebar stem is not adjustable in height, only the angle of
the handlebar stem and the angle of the handlebar can be
adjusted. First set the stem straight to the front fork and turn
the two socket bolts (A) securely fastened. Adjusting the
handlebar stem angle: Loosen the bolt (B) of the front end
and adjust the steering angle. Then tighten the bolt firmly
again.
Points of attention
•
The installation of a child seat on the steering wheel is
not permitted.
•
Inappropriate use, such as forcing and disassembling, or
making changes to parts or the steering yourself, is not
permitted.
•
The permissible static load on the steering wheel is a
maximum of 5 kg.
•
For both the seat post and handlebar stem: at least 7
cm in the tube of the frame! As a warning, that point is
usually indicated by grooves.
•
After adjusting the steering, always make sure that the
handlebar is straight again in relation to the wheel.
4.HEADSET
The headset is important for the bike's stability. Check for
slack on the headset by squeezing the front brake and
pushing the bike forward. If there is slack on the headset,
loosen bolt A. Then remove the cap from bolt D and loosen
it slightly as well. Do not loosen it completely, or the taper
will fall into the frame. Straighten the handlebars and then
tighten bolt D firmly again. Replace the cap and tighten bolts
A again.
5. BRAKES
Discbrakes
The hydraulic system requires little maintenance.
However, it is important to replace the brakep pads
in time, to prevent damage. The brake pads and discs
must be kept clean and not come into contact with oil
or brake fluid. If the brake pads are contaminated by an
oil-containing product, they must always be replaced
by a new set. If a brake line has been replaced or feels
spongy or if the brake system has been opened, the
system must be bled. Consult the bike dealer about
this type of work.
