Your safety on these roads and tracks
depends on your speed.
In the case of jumps and cycling at high
speed, or if you are riding in the bike-
park or downhill, there is basically a risk
of falling.
The faster you ride, the bigger the risk
you take!

In such areas, you should cycle particularly
slowly and carefully. Push or carry your bi-
cycle over such dicult areas if necessary.
•
•
Only jump and ride at high speed, when
you have rmly mastered this riding
technique and you are able to control your
bicycle in every situation.
When riding your bicycle at high speed,
with a sporty riding style (e.g. riding
fast over edges, speed reduction ramps,
bumps, etc.), or in the bike park, there is
always an increased risk of falls.
•
Adjust the use of your bicycle to your
riding skills and use the appropriate pro-
tective equipment.

2.1.5 Accessories and modications
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Many cyclists like to modify their bikes and
customise them to their particular wishes.
Forks, saddles, handlebars, pedals, brakes,
tyres and suspension elements - there are
many possibilities for changing your bike
subsequently.
Working on bikes, including work which
is assumed to be very simple, requires
sound training, sound knowledge and a
great deal of experience.
Unprofessional work on your bike can
lead to dangerous riding situations, fal-
ling, accidents and material damage.
•
Only use accessories that have been certied

4.2 General information
4.2.1 Brakes
Your bicycle is equipped with one or two
independently-operated rim or disk brakes
(see chapter 4.1.1 - 4.1.10).
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Incorrect operation of the brakes can
lead to dangerous riding conditions, falls,
accidents and material damage.
•
Familiarise yourself with the operation of
the brakes.
•
Determine which brake lever operates the
front brake and which one operates the
back brake.
•
Operate the respective brake lever several
times in the static position. You can observe
an opening and closing action of the brake
blocks or brake calipers on the respective
disk or rim.
4.2.2 Gear shift
Your bicycle is equipped with
•
a derailleur gear and a crank set with one,
two or three chainwheels. This gear shift will
provide you with the optimal gear for every
speed speed and will, for example, enable
you to ride uphill more easily.
•
This is how you can determine the number
of gears: Derailleur gear: Multiply the
number of the front chainwheels with the
number of sprocket wheels in the back,
e. g. 2 chainwheels x 10 sprocket wheels =
20 gears.
•
Hub gear: Please take the indication on
the hub shell or on the gearshift lever into
account.

Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Carbon is a modern material used in bi-
cycle and vehicle construction. However,
carbon components are highly sensitive.
Errors in its assembly or use could lead
to breakages and therefore dangerous
driving conditions, falls, accidents and
material damage.
•
It is imperative that you observe all of the
following information regarding the use of
carbon parts.
•
Should you have any questions relating to
the use of carbon parts, please consult your
specialist retailer. Risk of personal injury and
material damage!
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Shock and impact loads which may occur
as a result of unintended use (see chapters
2.1.3 and 4.1) or stone-chipping, may lead
to inconspicuous damage in the carbon
bres and/or delamination (= a dissoluti-
on of the bonded carbon layers).
Such damage, combined with the forces
arising from the operation of the bicycle
can suddenly break carbon parts and
therefore lead to dangerous driving
conditions, falls, accidents and material
damage
•
Your bicycle must be used solely for the in-
tended purpose (see chapters 2.1.3 and 4.1)
•
After falls or other major mechanical stresses
which are not prescribed under normal
biking operations, carbon frames and com-
ponents should no longer be used.
•
Please consult your authorised specialist
retailer immediately after a fall.
Carbon is a more commonly used term for carbon-
bre reinforced plastic. This describes a bre-plastic
composite material in which the carbon bres are
embedded in several layers in a plastic matrix.
4.3.1 Information on frame
construction
These high-end products are produced by hand.
Deviations in nish may therefore occur, however,
this does not represent grounds for complaint.
4.3.2 How to use your carbon
parts correctly
1. Do not, under any circumstances, mount
brackets, screws, clamps or other ele-
ments which exert mechanical pressure
on the carbon tube.
2. Clamping onto bike stands or other wall
brackets:
•
Never clamp your bicycle to a carbon tube
or carbon seat post in the clamping jaws of
a bike stand.
3. Please take care when using shackle
locks! These may, under certain circum-
stances, damage your frame.
•
When using shackle locks, please ensure
that these only touch the respective carbon
tube at very the most, and are not exerting
pressure.
4. Saddle clamp / seatpost:
•
The prescribed tightening torque of the
saddle clamp bolt is max. 6 Nm.
•
The seat tube must not be scoured or me-
chanically processed in any other way.
•
Please consult your authorised specialist
retailer immediately after a fall.
•
The seatposts and seat tubes must not be
lubricated. Only a carbon assembly paste
may be used.
•
Aluminium seatposts may only be mounted
using a carbon assembly paste.
•
The seat clamp may not be closed if the seat
post has been removed.
5. Bottle holder:
•
The thread sets are provided for attaching
standard bottle holders. The maximum tigh-
tening torque of the screws for attaching the
bottle holder to the frame is 3 Nm.

MTB/ ROAD BIKE/ TREKKINGMTB/ ROAD BIKE/ TREKKING
6. Bicycle rollers
•
The use of bicycle rollers with xed clamps is
not permitted. By rmly restricting the drop-
outs and quick-release hub axles, mechanical
stresses occur which strongly exceed those
permitted for normal cycling operations. This
may result in damage to the bicycle frame.
7. Transport:
•
Due care must be taken when transporting
wheels with carbon frames.
•
The frame should particularly be protected
against contact with other parts using a cover
for example.
•
No carrier or other such systems which use
clamping elements for xing and mounting
may be used. These clamping forces may lead
to damage of the tubes or dropouts.
•
Do not place any objects on the frame.
•
Please ensure that the bicycle is in a xed and
stable position during transport.

wishes. Please make sure you consider the
following important notes.
•
The assembly of our frames may only be car-
ried out by specialist dealers that have been
authorised by us.
•
The person building the frame into a comple-
te bicycle is considered to be the manufac-
turer and is liable for any possible assembly

2. Only use this bike when your dealer has
familiarised you with your bike‘s technical
features in a brieng.
3. Seal you bike with aerosol wax polish,
see Chapter 11.
4. Before riding your bike for the rst time,
please also read Chapter 8.
6 Before using for the rst time
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
An unroadworthy bike can lead to dange-
rous riding conditions, falling, accidents
and material damage. This same danger
exists if you are not yet familiar with your
new bike and its controls.
•
Check your bike in accordance with point 7.
•
Familiarise yourself with this bicycle before
you rst ride it. In particular, check which
brake lever operates the front brake and
which the rear – see Section 4.2.1
•
Modern brakes have a very powerful braking
eect. Excessive pressure on the brake levers
can cause the respective wheel to lock and
can therefore cause you to fall.
Familiarise yourself slowly with the braking
eect on your bike in a safe area of land.
•
In a safe location, slowly test and become
accustomed to your bicycle’s braking
response
•
With new rim brakes and after replacing
brake blocks, the full braking eect only
develops after a certain run-in period. Please
therefore note that your braking distances
will initially be longer.
•
Disk brakes need to be initially run in.
Full braking eciency only develops after
the running-in process. Please note the
enclosed brake manufacturer‘s running-in
instructions.
•
If your bike is tted with optional click-in
pedals, which rmly connect the shoe with
the pedal, practise using them by mounting
and dismounting. Click-in pedals are not
safety pedals.
•
If after purchasing you remove the saddle
support and front and/or rear wheel for
transportation, please follow the appropria-
te instructions in Chapter 11.
1. Have your dealer conrm that the nal
assembly of your bike has been car-
ried out correctly and that your bike is
roadworthy. Have your dealer adjust the
correct saddle position.
You can make ne adjustments and minor
changes yourself as described in Chapter
8.2 and 8.3.
7 Before every trip
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
An unroadworthy bike can lead to dange-
rous riding situations, falling, accidents
and material damage
Also consider the possibility that your
bike may have fallen over when unatten-
ded or that someone might have tam-
pered with it.
•
Check that your bike is roadworthy before
every trip.
•
Memorise your bike‘s actual condition when
new so that you will later be able to recog-
nise deviations from the actual condition
(photos you take yourself can be
a valuable aid).
•
Contact your specialist dealer immediately
if you discover that the actual state of the
bicycle deviates from its specied condition.
•
Only ride your bicycle again if it has been
properly repaired by the specialist dealer.
The parts described in the next subchap-
ters are not built into all bicycles. Some
parts may also have been retrotted.
Determine the equipment of your bike
with the help of the information in chap-
ter 4 and the following pictures. Carry out
the corresponding inspections.

sprocket cassette
•
Brake disk, if tted,
•
Spokes
•
Rim and the tyre equipment, which in turn
consists of
- Tyre casings
- Tube
- Rim tape insert
Currently, there are three dierent types
of tyre:
Wired-on tyres or folding tyres: This most
common type of tyre consists of the fol-
lowing components:
•
tyre
- If there are any loose parts:
- rim tape (only for rims with spoke holes)
Inside the tyre, there is a wire or a pad that
attaches itself to the rim ange when the
tyre is inated.
Field of application: All categories.
If you are unsure or if you have questions,
please consult your specialist dealer.

(see Chapter 3.3)
•
Check the entire bike for dents, ruptures,
deep scratches and other forms of mechani-
cal damage.
2. Contact your dealer if visual inspections
show defects of any description.
7.1 Check the road wheels
•
Tubeless tyres:
Special rims (with or without hermetically
sealed spoke holes) and tyres form an
airtight seal and make the use of a tube un-
necessary. However, a tube can still be tted
in the event of a breakdown.
Field of application:
Mountain bikes, cross bikes, racing bike/
street.
•
Tubed tyres:
The tube is sewed into the tyre. During
assembly, the tyre including the tube is
glued to a rim specically designed for this
purpose. The assembly instructions of the
tyre, glue and rim manufacturers must be
observed in this context. Please also consi-
der the notes in chapter 7.1.3.
Field of application: Racing bike/street

conditions, falling, accidents and material
damage.
•
Worn rims must be replaced and warping or
run-outs repaired!
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
With rim brakes: Dirty rims may reduce
braking eciency.
•
Dirty rims must be cleaned immediately.
1. Check rims for wear:
Rims with wear indicators:
Visual check
Rims without wear indicators:
Visual check
•
Fingernail check: Run your ngernail ac-
ross the rim shoulder. No scoring should

7.1.3 Check tyres
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Does not apply to tubeless tyres.
If the valve is angled, the base of the
valve can rip o when riding which causes
sudden loss of tyre pressure.
This can lead to dangerous riding con-
ditions, falling, accidents and material
damage.
•
Have the tyre seating corrected by a specia-
list workshop.
You can undertake this job yourself if you are
familiar with tting and removing the road
wheels (see Chapter 11.1) and replacing the
tyre and tube.
•
Remove the valve nut.
•
Check the valve position:
The valves must point directly towards the
centre axis of the road wheel.
The valves must point directly towards the centre
axis of the road wheel.
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Too low a tyre pressure leads to increa-
sed likelihood of punctures but mostly
dangerous handling.
The tyre can come o the rim on bends
and cause the tyre to become detached
from the rim.
This can lead to dangerous riding con-
ditions, falling, accidents and material
damage.
•
Inate your tyres to the correct pressure.
The valve does not point to the traversing wheel
centre
Check the tyre pressure:
1. Determine your tyre type
Mountain bikes can be tted with racing bike type
tyres and racing bikes with trekking tyres.
Rule of thumb:
Mountain bike tyres:
Tyre width greater than 40 mm
Trekking / cross-country and
tness bike tires:
Tyre width from 25 mm – 42 mm
Racing bike style tyres:
Tyre width from 21mm - 28 mm
Consult your dealer to determine your tyre
type.
Pressures:
• Mountain bike tyres: 2.5 – 3.5 bar
• FAT bike tyres: 0.7 – 2.0 bar
• Trekking and city bike tyres: 3.5 - 5.0 bar
• Racing bike tyre: 6.0 - 10.0 bar
• For the correct air pressure for categories
not listed here, please refer to the infor
mation on the tire or consult your dealer.

bar 2.1 2.8 3.5 4.1 4.8 5.5 6.2 6.9 7.6 8.3 9.0 9.7
The actual permissible tyre pressure can be
found in the tyre and rim manufacturer‘s
instructions. The permissible tyre pressure is
mostly embossed on the tyre wall. Please
consult your dealer.
The higher your body weight, the higher
the tyre pressure needs to be.
Check the tyre pressure with a tyre pressure
gauge. Simple gauges are often included with
bicycle tubes and higher quality gauges are
available from your dealer.
How to use them is detailed either in the
instructions for use or you can have your
dealer demonstrate this.
- If pressure is too low: Increase the pressure
by inating with a suitable pump.
- If pressure is too high: Release sucient air
via the valve and check the pressure again
afterwards with a gauge.
2. Check your tyres for external damage and
wear:
•
The tyre rubber must have the same pattern
as the original over its entire surface.
•
The tyre canvas beneath the layer of rubber
must not be visible.
•
There must be no bulges or tears.
3. Check the t of your tyres:
•
Lift the front or rear road wheel and turn it
by hand.
•
The tyre must rotate through 360 degrees.
There must be no highs or lows.
7.1.4 Other checks
1. Check your road wheels for loose items
such as, for example, pieces of branches,
residues, loose spoke reectors etc.
If there are loose parts:
•
Remove these if this is possible without
applying any great force.
•
Check if your road wheels have been dama-
ged by these loose items.
•
Tighten loose bicycle parts such as spoke
reectors, for example. If you nd this is not
possible, contact your dealer immediately.
•
Please note that all reectors are present in
accordance with StVZO (see Chapter 2.1.4),
correctly secured and not obscured or dirty.
Many tyre pressures are given in "psi". Convert the pressure using the following table.
Using a bicycle pump with a pressure
gauge, you can check the pressure whilst
inating the tyre.
Let some air out of the tyre rst and then
increase the pressure to the desired level.
There are various types of valve. All
valves can be tted with a dust cap.
After removing the cap, you can place the
pump head directly on the valve in either
a Schrader (Auto) valve or what is known
as a express valve (Dunlop). In the case of
a Sclaverand (French) valve, you rst have
to loosen the small lock nut on the valve
as far as it will go, then tighten it again
completely after inating the tyre.
•
Get your dealer to demonstrate operation of
the valves to you.

2. If your forks have a xed adjustment
mechanism as shown in the illustration,
please read the related instructions in
the suspension fork manufacturer‘s parts
instructions.
Suspension forks with elastomers and/
or steel springs are only suitable for one
overall weight range (= weight of rider
+ any baggage). This weight range is
usually within 20 kg.
Only the forks pre-tensioning can be
adjusted by compressing the springs by
means of an adjuster screw. This merely
changes the initial breakaway torque of
the forks.
That is, with greater pre-tensioning, the
forks only deect at higher operating
forces.
If the forks are pre-tensioned too much,
suspension travel is accordingly less.
The weight range for which the suspen-
sion elements in your forks are suited
can be found in the fork manufacturer‘s
instructions and/or you can consult your
dealer.
If your total weight is outside this range,
have your dealer t suspension elements
matching your weight.

8.8.1 Operate the thru axle
8.8.2 General information
Thru axles are used on both the frame and the fork of
CUBE models. All CUBE models use the advanced and
reliable 12mm thru axle system on the frame (MTB +
ROAD + TOUR + URBAN) and the fork (ROAD + TOUR
+ URBAN). Manufacturer-specic 15mm or 20mm
quick-release thru axles are used on the suspension
forks of our MTB models. Further information about
15mm and 20mm thru axle systems can be found in
the manual for the forks, or on the respective manu
-
facturer website.
Standard thru axle X12
8.8.3 Before installation
Please check the clamping surface and the
thread of the thru axle, frame and/or fork for
any soiling before installing the thru axle.
Dirt and soiling may impair the safety of the
axle system. Lightly greasing the axle thread
is recommended.
Risk of personal injury and material
damage!
Important information about the hand-
ling and use of thru axles
Always use the tools recommended by
the manufacturer when installing the
axle. Always use a torque wrench.
Never exceed the maximum torque, as
specied by the manufacturer!
Always read the operating manual of the
suspension forks and the wheel manufac-
turer before replacing or operating a fork/
wheel combination with a thru axle system.
Risk of material damage!
Check the correct t of the thru axle before
every use.
Incorrectly installed wheels and thru axles
may cause severe falls and accidents! Please
consult your CUBE dealer on how to safely
handle the installed thru axle type.
8.8.4 Assembling / disassembling
the thru axle
1.
Insert the wheel into the fork or frame,
and insert the brake disc into the brake
calliper.
8.8.5 Assembling / disassembling
a quick-release thru axle
Risk of personal injury and material
damage!
Always observe the operating manual of
the fork manufacturer
Risk of material damage!
Make sure the thru axle is inserted
straight, to prevent damage to the
thread. To prevent damage to the thread
and other components, the thru axle
must not be tilted or sti to turn while
inserted/screwed in.
2. Secure the thru axle hand-tight with an
Allen key.
3. Then adjust the torque to the manu-
facturer-specied value using a torque
wrench, but never exceeding 16Nm.
4. To remove the thru axle, it must be
unscrewed using an Allen key.

MTB/ ROAD BIKE/ TREKKINGMTB/ ROAD BIKE/ TREKKING
8.8.6 Assembling / disassembling a quick-
release thru axle on the rear wheel
Risk of personal injury and material
damage!
Always observe the operating manual of
the thru axle manufacturer.
Risk of material damage!
Check the correct t of the thru axle
before every use.
1. Insert the wheel into the frame at the
same time as attaching the chain and
inserting the brake disc into the brake
calliper. Make sure the thru axle is
inserted straight, to prevent damage to
the thread. To prevent damage to the
thread and other components, the thru
axle must not be tilted or sti to turn
while inserted/screwed in.
2. Tighten the axle to achieve a secure t
by using the lever and applying manual
force. Do not exceed a tightening torque
of 16Nm.
3. If the lever is in a dicult position to
apply manual force onto, loosen the lever
fastening mechanism on the axle using
two ngers. This can be loosened by turn-
ing it 180° anticlockwise with two ngers.
The lever can now be pulled slightly
away from the axle and turned into any
position you choose. To retighten the
axle, reposition the lever on the axle in
a comfortable position and tighten the
torque again.
4. Once you have tightened the axle
enough, position the lever so that it
points towards the front-end of the bike
and slide the lever onto the axle. Now
turn the xing screw 180° clockwise to
secure the lever against working itself
loose.
5. To release the axle, turn the lever
anticlockwise. If you cannot apply
enough force to the lever in the current
position, follow steps 1 to 4 in reverse.
Then you can adjust the position of the
lever to make it easier to loosen.
A folding cam lever is often used on
suspension forks to clamp the axle. After
screwing in the axle, this lever must be
folded and secured hand-tight. Failure
to do so may result in the lever working
itself loose, at the risk of causing an
accident!

In unpredictable trac situations and on
dicult terrain, it is often necessary to
"click out" with one or even both shoes.
•
Practise this with both feet alternately.
•
When pedalling, place your shoe centrally
on the pedal so that you don‘t click in.
If need be, you can then support yourself
with one or both legs on the ground.
With click-in pedals, the shoe and pedal
are rmly connected in a vertical direc-
tion. When pedalling, you can not only
push the pedal down but also pull it
upwards.
To be able to use a click-in pedal to the
full, you need shoes specially designed
for the pedal system concerned and to
which the pedal hooks supplied with the
pedal can be axed.
The following description is intended
purely as an example.
Please refer to the instructions for your
pedal/shoe combination provided by the
manufacturer and/or consult your speci-
alist dealer in order to ensure that your
click-in pedal system is correctly assem-
bled and you use it correctly.
8.9 Using click-in pedals (optional)
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Click-in pedals are not safety pedals.
If an excessive release force is set, it is
possible that you will not be able to get
your shoes out of the pedal quick enough
in an emergency situation.
If too soft a release force is set, the shoe
may possibly become disengaged from
the pedal unintentionally when you are
riding.
In either case, there is an increased dan-
ger of falling and injury.
•
Familiarise yourself with the click-in pedals
and how to use them.
•
Practise mounting onto and dismounting
from the pedals when not moving.
Sit on the saddle and hold onto a stable
object with one hand.
Click both shoes alternately in and out.
Please consult your dealer.
•
Familiarise yourself with the release on
careful practice rides.
•
Discover for yourself the optimum tightness
setting.
•
Practise mounting and dismounting at
various release settings.
•
You can nd details on how to adjust the
release setting in the accompanying parts
instructions and/or consult your dealer.

11.2 Remove and replace seat post
and saddle
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
An incorrectly tted seat post can lead to
dangerous riding situations, falling, acci-
dents and material damage.
•
You must have your dealer demonstrate
tting and removing your seat post.
•
Practise this job at least once under his
supervision and control.
•
Only remove and t the seat post and saddle
if you are sure you have mastered this job.
For transportation, you can remove your bike‘s seat
post complete with saddle and replace it again
afterwards.
The seat post is held with a clamp in the frame seat
tube and is tightened with either a quick release or a
hexagon socket.
On carbon bre seat posts, special types may be
tted with two screws.
For clamping without a quick release, a hexagon
socket and a torque wrench of the appropriate size
are required. Please also consult your dealer.
To remove your seat post:
1. Release the saddle clamp at the quick
release as per Chapter 8.8 or by loosening
the Allen screw with an Allen key.
2. Withdraw the saddle with seat post from
the frame.

MTB/ ROAD BIKE/ TREKKINGMTB/ ROAD BIKE/ TREKKING
1. On carbon seat post and/or saddle
•
Apply assembly paste to the seat post and
to the inside of the seat tube and only use
assembly paste for carbon parts for this
procedure.
•
Seat post and seat tube must not be gre-
ased. Only carbon assembly paste may be
used.
•
Seat posts made of aluminium may only be
tted using a carbon assembly paste.
2. Push the saddle with seat post into the
seat tube until the desired saddle height
is obtained. In this position the lower end
of the seat post (length (x)) must be at
least (y) mm below the top edge of the
seat tube (see denition below).
Do not rely on the marking on the seat
post.
To check the correct insertion distance (y):
hold a nger tip against the seat post
when tted directly above the clamp.
Keep your nger tip in this position and
withdraw the seat post from the seat
tube.
Hold the seat post laterally beside the
seat tube so that your nger is again level
and directly above the clamp.
In this position the lower end of the seat
post (length (x)) must be at least (y) mm
below the top edge of the seat tube.
120mm (y) at 400mm (x)

in the direction of travel.
4. Ensure that the clamp is ush in the frame
and that the seat tube slots and the clamp
are covered.
5. Close the quick release as per chapter 8.8
or tighten the allen screw with a torque
wrench.
Please observe assembly instructions and
the specied torque in the accompanying
parts instructions indicated in table 3.3.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
An over-tightened carbon bre seat post
can break when riding and lead to dange-
rous riding situations, falling, accidents
and material damage.
•
The seat tube clamp must be tightened
rmly in order to prevent the seat post from
lowering into the frame or laterally twisting
during the ride.
•
If the seat post does not remain in the desi-
red position, even though you have reached
the maximum admissible tightening torque,
please consult your specialist dealer imme-
diately.

12 Cleaning and caring for your
bike
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
Corrosion can damage components of
your bike which are important for safety
so that they are no longer secure. These
components may then brake during ri-
ding and thus result in serious falls.
Corrosion is caused, amongst other
things, by
-
salt (e.g. due to salt spreading in winter)
-
salty air (e.g in coastal or industrial areas)
-
perspiration.
Danger of material damage!
Do not use steam washers. The high pres-
sure water jet can damage your bike.
Good maintenance will increase the life of your bike
and its components. Clean and maintain your bike
regularly.
For wet cleaning, use a gentle water jet or a bucket
of water and a sponge.
Only use clean fresh water or desalinated water.
There are many ways of washing a bike. A proven
cleaning recommendation for a very dirty bike is as
follows:
1. With a gentle water jet, remove large
items of debris such as soil, stones and
sand etc.
2. Let the bike dry o to a certain extent.
3. Spray your entire bike with a suitable
detergent.
With many detergents and if there is only
a low level of soiling, simply spraying and
rinsing o after the specied time for
them to work is sucient.
You can remove stubborn dirt after the
working time, for example, with a radia-
tor paintbrush before rinsing o.
Danger of material damage!
Cleaning, lubrication and preserving
agents are chemical products.
Incorrect use can damage your bike.
•
Only use products expressly suitable for
bikes.
•
Ensure that these products do not attack
either paint, rubber, plastic or metal parts
etc. Consult your dealer.
•
Follow the respective manufacturer‘s inst-
ructions.
4. Rinse the entire bike with a gentle water
jet and allow it to dry.
5. Clean the chain.
•
Drip a suitable chain cleaner into a clean,
spirit-free cotton cloth and wipe the chain
down. When doing so, slowly operate the
crank against the direction of drive.
•
Repeat this process as often as possible with
a clean area of the cloth until the chain is
clean.
•
Drip a suitable chain cleaner into a clean,
spirit-free cotton cloth and wipe the chain
down.
If cleaner remains between the chain
links, the new grease will be immediately
broken down and will be totally ineec-
tive.
•
Sparingly apply a lubricant suitable for
bicycle chains to the chain links.
Danger of material damage!
Greases for motor cycle chains will gum
up your bike chain and the drive chain
components.
•
Only use lubricants expressly approved for
use with bike chains.
68
|
MTB/ ROAD BIKE/ TREKKINGMTB/ ROAD BIKE/ TREKKING
Clean and lubricate your chain as descri-
bed after every ride in wet conditions and
every extended ride on a sandy subsur-
face and at the latest every 200 km.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
If too much lubricant is used it can drip
onto the rim and brake disk and contami-
nate them.
This will reduce the eectiveness of the
brakes
•
Remove excessive lubricant on the chain
using a clean, dry and spirit-free cotton
cloth.
•
Clean the rim and brake disk with a suita-
ble degreasing agent. Please consult your
dealer.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
If wax polish spray or a preserving agent
gets onto the rim or brake disks and/
or brake blocks, the eectiveness of the
brakes will be reduced.
•
Clean these parts with a suitable degreasing
agent. Consult your specialist dealer.
6. Clean any remaining very dirty parts by
hand using a clean spirit-free cotton cloth
using a suitable detergent.
7. Spray the entire bike with a suitable wax
polish or similar preserving agent.
Exceptions:
• Brake blocks or brake pads
• Rims in the case of rim brakes
• Brake disks
• Handlebar grips/ brake lever/ shifter
• Saddle
• Tyre
8. Polish your bike after the prescribed
working time using a clean, spirit-free
cotton cloth.
9. Clean the brake blocks, brake pads, rims
(in the case of rim brakes) and brake disks
by hand using a clean, spirit-free cloth
using a suitable degreasing agent.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
Worn parts and unrepaired damage can
lead to dangerous riding situations, falls,
injuries and property damage.
•
Regularly maintain and service your bicycle.
•
Take your bicycle to a specialist workshop at
the compulsory maintenance intervals.
•
Only this way, worn parts and possible
damages can be discovered and repaired.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
Compared to adults, children and juveni-
les often use their bicycles in a way that
damages the material and parts more
quickly.
•
Take bicycles of children and juveniles which
are frequently used to a specialist workshop
for inspection every 6 months.
•
If you discover damage on a bicycle ridden
by children or juveniles, immediately take it
to a specialist workshop for inspection.
