Chain; Chain Tension - Prophete REX BIKE CITY Serie Notice D'utilisation

CHAIN

• T he chain must be sufficiently lubricated at all times since it may otherwise tear. The
backpedalling brake is no longer functional then in models with a backpedalling
brake!
Danger of accident!
DANGER
Clean and oil the chain at regular intervals (in particular after rides in the rain) with fine oil,
chain or silicon spray. Dab off excess oil with a rag.

CHAIN TENSION

• If the chain is not tensioned enough, it may jump off during the ride. In that case, the
back-pedalling brake will no longer be functional!
Danger of accident!
DANGER
The usage-related elongation of the chain requires regular inspection of the chain tension.
CHECK CHAIN TENSION
1. Put the bicycle onto the stand.
2. Check that the chain can be pushed through up or
downwards by max. 10-15 mm (cf. fig. BZ).
An incorrectly tensioned chain may cause increased wear and may cause annoying sounds
during the ride.
(ONLY FOR MODELS WITH HUB GEARSHIFT)
