Suspension seat posts have proven their value in
both daily use and on tours .
Some suspension seat posts can be individually
adjusted to fit the rider. Ask your FLYER specialist
retailer for details .
Suspension and chassis components
are safety-related components of your
FLYER .
Service and check them at regular in-
tervals .
Have your FLYER inspected by your
FLYER specialist retailer at regular in-
tervals .
The chassis will be more effective and
last longer if it is cleaned on a regular
basis . Warm water with a light cleaning
agent is suitable for cleaning this part of
the bicycle .
14. Wheels and tyres
The wheels are subject to a great deal of strain
due to the uneven characteristics of the ground
and the weight of the rider .
• After the first 200 kilometres, the wheels must
be checked by a specialist and re-centred if
necessary .
• The tension of the spokes must be checked at
regular intervals . Loose or damaged spokes
must he retightened or replaced by a FLYER
specialist retailer .
14.1 Checking the rims
The stability of the rim decreases if it is subjected
to heavy loads, e.g. during off-road use, and the
susceptibility to damage increases . A bent, torn or
broken rim may lead to major accidents and seve-
re falls . Do not continue to use your FLYER if you
notice damage to one of the rims . Please allow
a FLYER specialised retailer to check the rims .
14.2 Tyres and inner tubes
Tyres, like many other parts, are subject
to wear and tear. Check the profile
depth, tyre pressure and state of the lat-
eral tyre surfaces at regular intervals
and take note of signs of brittleness or
wear .
Do not exceed the maximum tyre pres -
sure recommended when inflating the
tyres .
Otherwise this could lead to a tyre ex -
ploding .
The tyres must be pumped up with at
least the stated minimum tyre pressure .
The tyre might detach from the rim if the
tyre pressure is too low .
The values for the permitted maximum
and minimum pressure are imprinted on
the lateral tyre surface .
Tyres may only be replaced with identi-
cal, original tyres . The bicycle’s handling
could otherwise be negatively affected.
This may lead to accidents .
You should only replace damaged parts
with original spare parts .
Most FLYERS use car-type valves or Schrader
valves . This valve type allows you to top up the
tyre pressure of your FLYER E-Bike at most filling
stations . Specialist retailers will let you know which
type of air pump fits your car-type valves. Tubes
may only be changed for identical, original tubes .
Valve types for inner tubes
Tubeless-ready tyres
Some FLYER E-MTBs are fitted with tube -
less-ready tyres so that they are ready to be used
off-road too. This allows you to enjoy tried-and-
tested and simple handling, for instance when it
comes to hose repair, but you can also benefit
from the improved driving performance of tube-
less tyres if you wish . The covers installed at the
