facturer‘s instructions before using
magnetic or clipless pedals. Practise
clipping your shoes in and out of the
pedals‘ locking system before your
first ride in a quiet, safe place. Clip -

be adjusted. Please test this on your first

service them with a suitable lubricant.
11.1 Operating quick releases and
axles
The wheels, seat post, seat, stem and handlebars
may be attached with quick release fasteners,
quick release axles or screw connections.
Only allow your FLYER specialist retailer
to perform work on quick release fasteners
and quick release axles. These are com -
ponents which are crucial for your safety,
so incorrect work and tools in this area of
the bicycle could lead to serious falls.
Quick release
Quick releases are clamping brackets which at -
tach components like a screw, however their
clamping force stems from tightening the lever
without tools. The clamping force is activated by
closing the lever. The clamping force is adjusted
by turning the counter nut when the lever is open.
1. In order to open a quick release, to adjust the
seat post for example, open the quick release
lever.
2. Now you can move and adjust the seat post.
3. The quick release fastener must be closed be -
fore using the FLYER. Completely fold down
the quick release lever for that purpose. Fully
engage any possible quick release levers.
The quick release is only securely
closed when you need the power of the
ball of your hand to close the lever.
The adjustment nut of the quick release fastener
must be tightened when the tightening force is not
high enough, e.g. when the seat does not stay in
position. To do this, the quick release lever must
be open.
Tightening the Adjusting Nut
The quick release fastener cannot be closed
when the tightening force is too high. Open the
clamping lever in this case and slightly loosen the
adjustment nut.
1. A ll quick release skewers must be
firmly closed before you set off.
2. Check all quick release fasteners for
correct attachment if the vehicle was
parked even for a short time without
supervision and before every ride.
