Wear parts, maintenance, vehicle inspection after an accident
Some parts and components on your GRACE MX II are susceptible to function-related wear.
For this reason, such parts need to be monitored very closely and regularly maintained or
replaced.
The wear parts include:
8.1.
Tyres
Tyres wear according to how the GRACE MX II is used and can vary considerably from one
rider to the next. Heavy braking which causes the wheel to lock up reduces the service life of
the tyre considerably. The tyre pressure should be checked regularly and the tyres must be
inflated to the value indicated by the tyre manufacturer.
8.2.
Brake pads
The brake pads are subject to function-related wear which is heavily dependent on how the
GRACE MX II is used. When riding along tracks with heavy drops or when using it for bike
sports, it may be necessary to replace the brake pads at shorter intervals. It is therefore
essential that you check the wear on your brake pads regularly. When necessary, have them
replaced by a specialist dealer.
8.3.
Belt
Always replace the Gates carbon drive belt when damaged due to improper handling or
serious external influences. For instance, when a stone, twig or piece of clothing is caught in
the belt and drawn between the belt and the belt pulleys. This kind of external influence can
cause damage to the sensitive carbon fibres inside the belt even if there does not appear to
be any damage to the belt on the outside. If you suspect the belt may be damaged, replace it
as a preventative measure against accident or injury.
