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

Before going on a ride

Always check the following point before every ride you undergo:
1. Are the axle nuts properly fastened on both wheels? (for tightening
EN
torques, see table on page 38)
2. Are both tires in a safe state and do they have enough pressure? Not
enough tire pressure impairs driving stability and tire life. Please see tire
flank for specification regarding tire pressure. Table on page 37 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. Hydraulic brakes must not be leaking.
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 or use knee-bands. 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 Bike, please
!
always stay within the maximum total weight of your
bike and transport restrictions pointed out in the chapter
"intended use".

Your Schindelhauer Bike is subject to both environ-
mental- and physical influences due to ground proper-
ties, 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 Bike 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

• Turn the quick-release-lever on the brake. Fig. 4 shows the starting
point. Press the quick release button and turn the attachment bracket
upwards to open the brake and give clearance to the rim and the tire
(fig.5). Loosen the bolts of the hub until you can lift the wheel out of the
fork drop-out. Use an Allen-wrench size 5 for this.
• Assembly works in reverse order.
• Tighten the M6 hub-bolt with the torque according to the chart
(page 38).
Do not forget to bring the quick-release back in the
starting-position! (fig. 4)
Make sure to carry out each of these 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

Open the brake caliper as described above. Please refer to the same infor-
mation at the front brake (page 28). Loose the hub bolts and push the
wheel forward. To loosen the bolts use an allen-wrench size 5. Take of the
belt from the sprocket without bending or twisting it and thread it over
the drop-out (fig.7). Mind the provided instruction manual of the Gates
Carbon Drive™ belts. Now you can remove the wheel. If necessary, bend
the fender carefully backwards.
Assembling works in reverse order:
1. Insert the rear wheel and move it forward.
2. Slightly tighten the hub bolts to the point where the cog wheel of tigh-
tening cone is meshing with the cog rail (fig. 9).
3. Put the belt over both sprockets and slightly pull the wheel backward to
pretension the belt (fig. 8 ).
4. Turn the tightening cone with a 17mm wrench to elevate the belt
tension (fig. 6).
5. Fasten the rear wheel by hand-tightening the hub bolts (fig. 6).
6. Carry out these operations on both sides to straighten out the wheel
(turn the wrench anti-clockwise on the left side to increase belt tension
and clockwise on the right side to decrease belt tension) .
7. Check the belt tension. It is suggested to use the Gates tension tester.
Alternatively press with a proof load of 20 -45N (89 – 200 lb) on the top
of the belt in the middle between both sprockets. The deflection should
be 10mm +/- 1mm (fig 10).
8. If the deflection is not according to the requirements, loosen the bolts
and adjust the belt tension again. Make sure that the rear wheel is
centered between the chain stays.
9. Tighten the M6 hub bolts with torque according to the chart.
