By plane
If you want to take your CENTURION road bike with
you when you go on a trip by plane, pack it in an
appropriate bicycle suitcase
(a)
or in a bicycle card-
board box that you can obtain from your CENTURION
dealer. Special bicycle bags often do not provide suf-
ficient protection for your CENTURION road bike.
Pack the wheels (in particular carbon wheels) in spe-
cial wheel bags to protect them inside the suitcase or
cardboard box. Do not forget to take the necessary
tools, a torque wrench and bits, carbon assembly
paste and these operating instructions with you to be
able to assemble your CENTURION road bike and to
get it ready for use at your destination.
A
If your CENTURION road/cyclo-cross
bike has disc brakes, be sure to mount
the safety locks before transporting
your CENTURION road bike with the wheels dis-
mounted.
A
Pull the brake levers and secure them
with a strong rubber band.

Maintenance and servicing
Your CENTURION dealer will have assembled and ad-
justed your CENTURION bike ready for use when you
come to collect it. Nevertheless, your CENTURION
bike needs regular servicing
(b)
. Have your local
CENTURION dealer do the scheduled maintenance
work. This is the only way to ensure that all compo-
nents function safely and reliably for many miles.
The bike will be due for its first service after 100 to
300 kilometers, 5 to 15 hours of initial use or four
to six weeks. The bedding-in phase typically involves
spokes slightly losing tension or gears coming out
of adjustment, so there is every reason to have your
CENTURION dealer service the CENTURION bike
at this stage. This bedding-in process is unavoida-
ble. Therefore, remember to make an appointment
with your CENTURION bike dealer to have your new
CENTURION bike inspected. This first service is very
important for both functioning and durability of your
CENTURION bike.
It is advisable to have your CENTURION bike ser-
viced regularly by your CENTURION dealer after the
bedding-in phase. If you ride a great deal on poor
road surfaces or cross-country, it will require corre-
spondingly shorter service periods. The off-season
during the winter months is a very good time to take
your CENTURION bike to your CENTURION dealer
for the annual inspection, as they will have plenty of
time for you and for servicing.
