12:1 Changing castor wheels
Next Comfort can be equipped with
125 mm (5"), 150 mm (6") or 175 mm
* (7") castors.
Select a size to suit driving technique
and environment, not to alter the seat
height or angle.
* 175 mm is only suitable with 24" rear
wheels (not in rear wheel position D,
short frame).
Remove existing castor wheel by unfas-
tening screw and nut.
Move the plastic components to the
hole on the fork that is marked with the
specific castor size.
Secure the new castor wheel.
Each rear wheel size has a specific accom-
panying fork size. See table in section 17
(Alternative seat heights/angles). For higher
and lower seat heights see non-standard
combinations. Contact customer service.
Tools: 5 mm Allen key
The bar must always be in the
horizontal position.
12:2 Handrims
Next Comfort is delivered as standard
with aluminium handrims.
The way in which the user is able to
grip the handrims is influenced by the
handrims material and its distance from
the wheel.
Stainless and plastic coated handrims
are available as options.
The plastic coated handrims
give a better grip, but also in-
crease friction. Violent braking
can cause mild friction burns
(e.g. blisters).
Be aware that when passing
through narrow spaces there
is a risk of getting your fingers
caught. There is also a risk of
fingers getting caught in the
spokes.
If there is a risk of the user’s
fingers getting caught in the
spokes we recommend spoke
guards.
