Before Going On A Ride; (Dis-)Assembling The Front Wheel; (Dis-)Assembling The Rear Wheel - Schindelhauer Bikes Gustav Notice D'utilisation

Before going on a ride

Always check the following points before every ride:
1. Are the axle nuts properly fastened on both wheels? (for tightening
EN
torques, see table on page 42)
2. Are both tires in a safe state and do they have enough pressure? Not
enough tire pressure impairs riding stability and tire life. Please see tire
flank for correct tire pressure. The table on page 41 also contains
suggestions.
3. Test both brakes while standing. After only short brake lever travel,
there should be palpable pressure and resistance building up. The brake
lever should not be able to be pulled all the way to the handlebar with
normal manual force.
If your bike is faulty in any of the aforementioned points,
do not operate it!
Always wear proper, preferably bright and visible, clothing.
Wear tight legwear. That way, you prevent your clothes
from getting caught in the drive. Danger of accident! Wear
footwear that fits the pedal system.
To prevent damage to your Schindelhauer, please always
!
stay within the maximum total weight of your bike and
transport restrictions pointed out in the chapter "intended
use".

Your Schindelhauer is subject to both environmen-
tal- and physical influences due to ground properties,
and your applied force. This causes wear and tear in
multiple parts and components of the bike. Please
perform regular checks on your bike and look out for
rips, scratches, bends, as well as stains and discolora-
tion etc. Components that passed their lifespan may fail
suddenly and without prior warnings. Please regularly
take your Schindelhauer to professional inspections,
where outworn parts can be replaced. Please find further
information on maintenance and safety in the chapters
"care instructions", in the "tightening torques" tables and
"service and maintenance".

(Dis-)Assembling the front wheel

1. Remove the plug from the hub dynamo.
2. Loosen the axle bolt just enough to remove the wheel from the fork.
3. Tighten the M6 hub-bolt with the torque according to the chart
(page 42).
Make sure to carry out each of this steps with the utmost
care and diligence. If you are not completely sure as to
the quality of your own work, please do not hesitate to
contact your specialized Schindelhauer dealer.

(Dis-)Assembling the rear wheel

Shimano Nexus 8-gear hub:
1. Unhook the cable at the cable drum of the rear hub. Also unhook the
outer cable at the clamp (black metal lever). Loosen the hub nuts on
both sides and move the wheel downwards to remove it from the slide.
2. The belt tension will automatically be loosened, due to the sloping
opening of the slide.
3. You can now take the belt off the rear sprocket.
Assembling works in reverse order:
1. Fit the belt on the front and rear sprocket.
2. Insert the axle of the rear wheel into the openings of the slide. Please
note that the catches of the blue and green torque support elements
have to point downwards (fig. 10).
3. Hook the cable to the cable drum of the rear hub and the outer cable to
the clamp (black metal lever, fig. 11).
4. Then put pressure onto the rear wheel (with your body weight) to push
the axle into the opening of the slide up to the stop. The belt will then
have its original tension again. Tighten the hub nuts on both sides with
the required torque (fig. 12).
5. For last step check the adjustment of the gear hub. Therefore shift to
the 4th gear (Nexus 8) and turn the adjustment knob (fig. 14) at the
shifter until the two yellow lines align (fig. 13). Shift through all gears
and check alignment again. If the deflection is not according to the
requirements (see page 35), loose the bolts and adjust the belt tension
again. Make sure that the rear wheel is centered between the chain
stays.
