18. Wearing parts
Your FLYER is a technical product and therefore
requires regular inspection.
Depending on the function and despite the de
-
gree of use, many parts on your FLYER are able
to show signs of wear and tear.
This includes:
•
Tyres
•
Brake pads
•
Brake discs
•
Bicycle chains
•
Chain wheels, sprockets, jockey wheels
•
Handlebar grips
•
Gear and brake cables
• Bearings
•
Suspension elements
Have your FLYER regularly inspected in
a FLYER specialised workshop and
have wearing parts changed as re
-
quired. Regular visual inspection for
cracks, scratches and damage to com
-
ponents is the responsibility of the driver.
The bicycle is subject to wear and high
stress as are all other mechanical com
-
ponents. Depending on the degree of
stress imposed on them, different mate
-
rials and parts may react differently in
terms of wear and fatigue. A part may
suddenly fail and cause injuries to the
driver when its designed service life is
exceeded. Any kind of cracks, scratches
or colour changes in high-stress areas
are an indicator that the service life of
the component has been exceeded and
that it should be replaced.
