// BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
Before your first ride, check all basic functions of your bike to ensure that there are no assembly errors or transport damages. If there are any defects or flaws, you should have your bike inspected and
repaired by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Never ride with a defective bike!
WHEELS / TIRES Lift the wheels one after the other and spin them.
→ The wheels must spin smoothly.
→ The wheels must run true, without moving up and down or from side to side.
→ The tires must not rub against the frame.
Check the tire pressure.
→ The tire pressure should be about 2 bar. The maximum tire pressure of the wheel and of the tire used must not be exceeded.
Check the tightening torque of the thru axles.
→ The lever of the thru axle of the front wheel must be closed firmly!
→ The thru axle of the rear wheel must be tightened to 12 Nm!
COMPONENTS Verify the tight fit of the stem: Stand in front of the bike with the front wheel between your knees and try to turn the handlebar left and right.
→ It should not be possible to turn the handlebar with normal force.
Check the headset for play: Stand next to your bike, pull the front brake lever and gently push the bike backwards and forwards.
→ No bearing play must be detectable.
Make sure that all components are tight.
→ Tighten the parts to the proper torque, if need be. In case of doubt, contact the Propain Service.
FRAME Check the frame for damages and deformation.
→ There must be no damages.
FORK / Sit on the bike with all your cycling equipment (helmet, backpack, shoes, etc.) and take a normal riding position.
SHOCK
→ We recommend a SAG of 15% - 20% on the fork and 20% - 30% on the shock.
→ If necessary, change the air pressure of your suspension elements. If you have ordered a shock with steel spring you have already chosen a spring rate corresponding to
your weight. Details can be found in the user manual of your bike.
BRAKES Check brake efficiency: Pull one brake lever after the other while standing and push the bike backwards and forwards.
→ The front and rear wheel must lock when the brake lever is pulled.
Check whether the brake hoses and connections are losing brake fluid and check them for defects.
→ Brake fluid must not escape at the connections.
Break in the brake pads. Choose a road away from public roads and brake 20 to 30 times with the front or rear brake from a speed of 30 km/h down to 5 km/h. You should brake as
hard as possible without locking one of the wheels. Repeat the process for the other brake. Only then the brake can show its full braking power.
