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

Before going on a ride

Always check the following points before every ride you undergo:
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? Tire
pressure impairs driving stability and tire life. Please see tire flank for
specification regarding tire pressure. Table on page 39 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 ride it!
Always wear suitable, 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 a size 5 hex key for this.
• Assembly works in reverse order.
• Tighten the hub bolt with the correct torque according to the chart
(page 42).
Do not forget to close the quick release of the brake
(fig. 4)!
