Using Original Parts

It is strongly recommended to use the original parts for all components that are critical for
safety.
The use of parts that are non-compliant with your bike, as well as any modification to the frame
or parts can cause risks for the user of the bike as well as a restriction of the guarantee.
If you wish to change your cranks to increase their length, you should first check that they will
not pass too close to the chain stays. Please also check that your shoe will not touch the wheel
or the mud guard when the cranks are in a horizontal position and you turn the handlebar. This
same check should also be carried out if you increase the width of the front tire.
What's more, if you increase the length of your cranks, you will decrease their distance from
the ground, so you are at risk of touching the ground if pedaling when cornering or on rough
terrain, and therefore risk a fall. Ask your retailer for advice.
