lever and tighten securely to 6 to 8N.m whilst continuing to apply the brake lever. (N.B. use
of a thread locking compound is recommended on the caliper fixing screws).
Warning:
If you are unsure about any part of the brake installation process you should seek
advice from a Accolmile service center or qualified mechanic.
Caution:
The pads and rotor must be kept clean and free from oil or grease based
contamination. If the pads become contaminated, you must discard them and replace them
with a new set. A contaminated disc should be cleaned with a proprietary brake cleaning
solution.
3.6 The connectors
3.6.1 All electronic components have individual connectors, this allows for the easy removal for
diagnosis, repair or replacement of any of the electronic parts. The connectors, being a push
fit are simple to disconnect or reconnect and click into position when fully engaged. Each
connector has a different number of pins and an alignment arrow, so it is important to
ensure the connectors are only mated in their original positions, damage may occur to the
pins if this procedure is not followed.
3.7 Quick release saddle height adjustment
3.7.1 Your Accolmile bike has been fitted with a quick release saddle post fitting to facilitate the
movement of the saddle height.
3.7.2 It is important that the knurled nut on the fitting is tightened so the post will not move in
the bike tube. Make this adjustment with the quick release lever in the open position.
3.7.3 Adjust the seat to the correct height and close the lever firmly. When you sit on the saddle
there should be no vertical movement at all in the saddle post beyond the seat post
suspension movement. Never apply grease to the saddle post.’
3.8 Rims and spokes
3.8.1 It is essential to have your spokes checked and tightened after 300 miles. This is a free
service provided by your supplier. If this service has not been undertaken at the correct
time, this may cause damage to the wheels and spokes that will not be covered under our
Warranty.
3.8.2 Check the rims before riding. You need to confirm whether the rim or steel wire is damaged
and whether the hub rotates smoothly. Once you find damage or poor rotation, you need to
find the cause in time and use it after maintenance.
