Kick-Stand - Moustache Lundi 27 Manuel D'utilisation

4 // SETTINGS AND VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS
Assembly
• Add a little air to the inner tube so that it takes the form of a circle.
• Place the inner tube in the tire then the valve in the hole in the rim.
• Place the first side of the tire bead into the base of the rim starting at the valve. (Figure
28).
• Place the inner tube into the rim. (Figure 29).
• Then push the second side of the tire bead into the rim, taking care not to pinch the inner
tube between the tire and the rim. (Figure 27).
• Pump up the inner tube to the advised pressure level. (Figure 30).
• Check the tire is correctly centered on the rim. If it is not correct, let air out of the inner
tube then re-inflate it. To make this easier, you can use a little soapy water to wet the
side of the rim and tire when the inner tube is deflated.
• Make sure you check the air pressure of your tires before and after each ride.

4.6 KICK-STAND

The kick-stand is made of aluminum. It is placed as close as
possible to the rear wheel for the greatest stability and to avoid
it coming into contact with the cranks when the bike is immobile.
Its length can easily be modified. It is therefore easy to adjust it as
needed, for example when your bike is parked on a slope.
For best stability, your bike should not be positioned too vertical
or too leaned over. The Figure 31 shows the Ideal angle for parking
your bike on flat ground.
4.6.1 In the case of a Pletscher kick-stand
You can easily adjust the length of the kick-stand using a 2.5mm
allen key. To do this, unscrew the pressure screw; adjust it to the
desired length, then retighten the pressure screw to 3-5 Nm.
