Keep cleaning agents and chain oil clear
of the brake pads, brake discs and rim
sides (braking surfaces). Otherwise the
brake could fail. Never grease or lubricate the
clamping areas of a frame made of carbon, e.g.
handlebars, stem, seat post and seat tube. Once
greased, carbon components may never again
ensure reliable clamping!

While cleaning, watch out for cracks,
scratches, dents as well as deformed
or discolored material. Have defective
components replaced immediately and touch up
paint defects. If you are in doubt or if you have
any questions, contact your CENTURION dealer.
A
Only use petroleum-based solvents
for cleaning tough oil or grease stains
from paint and carbon surfaces. Never
use degreasing agents containing acetone, me-
thyl chloride or the like, or solvent-containing,
non-neutral or chemical cleaning agents that
could attack the surface!

Do not clean your CENTURION bike
with a high-pressure cleaner or a water
jet and if you do, be sure to keep it at a
distance. Do not aim at the bearings.
Safekeeping and storing your
CENTURION bike
If you regularly look after your CENTURION bike dur-
ing the season, you will not need to take any special
measures when storing it for a short time, apart from
securing it against theft. Store your bike in a dry, well
aerated place.
If you want to store your CENTURION bike for a
longer period of time, e.g. over the winter months,
please observe the following things: Inflated inner
tubes tend to gradually lose air when the bike is
not used for a long time. If your CENTURION bike
is left standing on flat tires for an extended period,
this can cause damage to the structure of the tires.
It is therefore better to hang the wheels or the entire
CENTURION bike
(a)
or to check the tire pressure
regularly
(b)
. Clean your CENTURION bike and pro-
tect it against corrosion. Your CENTURION dealer
has special cleaning agents, e.g. spray wax.
Remove the seat post
(c)
and let moisture that may
have entered dry. Spray a little finely atomized oil
into the metal seat tube. However, do not apply oil
in a carbon seat tube. Shift the gear to the smallest
chainwheel and the smallest sprocket
(d)
. This relax-
es the cables and the springs.
i
There are hardly any waiting times at
your CENTURION dealer during the
winter months. In addition, many of the
CENTURION dealers offer an annual check-up
at a special price. Benefit from the idle time and
ask your CENTURION dealer to do the scheduled
maintenance work!
