For more information see the chapters “The
brake system”, “How to use quick-releases and
thru axles” and “The wheels and the tires” in this
translation of the original CENTURION operating
instructions as well as in your comprehensive
original CENTURION user manual and in the in-
structions of the component manufacturers on
the enclosed CENTURION CD-ROM.
5. Check that handlebars and stem are neither bent
nor broken and that they are level and upright.
Make sure the stem is firmly fixed on the fork by
trying to turn the handlebars relative to the front
wheel
(a)
. Briefly lean on the brake levers to
make sure the handlebars are firmly fixed in the
stem.
Realign the components, if necessary, and gently
tighten the bolts to ensure a reliable clamping of
the components
(b)
. The maximum torque val-
ues are printed directly on the components or
specified in the instructions of the component
manufacturers on the enclosed CENTURION
CD-ROM.
For more information see the chapters “Adjusting
the CENTURION bike to the rider” and “The head-
set” in this translation of the original CENTURION
operating instructions as well as in your compre-
hensive original CENTURION user manual and in
the instructions of the component manufacturers
on the enclosed CENTURION CD-ROM.
6. Check whether the chain still runs on the chain-
wheels and the sprockets. If your CENTURION
pedelec fell over to the chain side, verify the prop-
er functioning of the gears. Ask somebody to lift
your CENTURION pedelec by the saddle and
carefully shift through all the gears. Pay particu-
lar attention when switching to the small gears,
making sure the rear derailleur does not get too
close to the spokes as the chain climbs onto the
larger sprockets
(c+d)
.
If the rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur
hanger is bent, the rear derailleur may collide with
the spokes. This in turn can destroy the rear de-
railleur, the rear wheel or the frame.
For more information see the chapter “The gears”
in this translation of the original CENTURION op-
erating instructions as well as in your comprehen-
sive original CENTURION user manual and in the
instructions of the component manufacturers on
the enclosed CENTURION CD-ROM.
7. Make sure the saddle is not twisted by using the
top tube
(e)
or the bottom bracket shell as a ref-
erence. If necessary, open the clamping, realign
the saddle and retighten the clamping.
