Transporting baggage
There are various ways of carrying baggage on your
CENTURION road bike. Your choice will primarily
depend on the weight and volume of the baggage.
Using a bicycle rucksack
(e)
is a convenient way of
transporting baggage on a bike and therefore rec-
ommendable. You can also use pannier racks
(f)
or
handlebar bags, but some CENTURION road bike
models do not allow the mounting of these accesso-
ries. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions,
contact your CENTURION dealer.
G
If necessary, do not overload your
CENTURION road bike (see “Bike card”)
and also observe the maximum load ca-
pacity marked on or impressed in your pannier
rack.
A
Baggage generally changes the riding
characteristics of your CENTURION
road bike and increases your stopping
distance! Practice riding a loaded road bike in a
place clear of traffic.
Taking children with you
CENTURION road bikes are mainly not designed for
taking children on them. This applies in particular to
those with very light frames. Ask your CENTURION
dealer for advice and have a look at the bike card.
Also read the instructions of the child seat or the trail-
er which must be supplied by the manufacturers with
the products.
G
If you want to hitch a trailer
(g)
or a
kids’ tandem bike/trailer system to your
CENTURION road bike or if you want to
mount a child seat
on it, check whether the road
bike is designed accordingly. Have a look at the
bike card or ask your CENTURION dealer for ad-
vice.
