BEFORE YOUR RIDE
To make sure your bike is safe to ride, you should carry out certain tasks before your ride. 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!
TASK/CHECK
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 (see also „8.4 Tire
pressure").
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!
Lift the wheels one after the other and move the wheels to the side.
→ There must be no play.
Check the freehub mechanism of the rear hub to ensure proper engagement:
Sit down on your bike, pull the front brake and pedal with moderate force when standing.
→ The power must be transferred to the rear wheel.
→ The freehub must not slip.
Check the tires for damages and wear.
→ There must be no damages.
→ The tires must not be worn so that the puncture protection belt or the carcass threads can be seen through the tread.
