Attention!
All quick releases must
be locked tightly before you start riding.
When closed the quick release lever must be
close to the frame or fork.
When closed the quick relase lever's tip must
face rearwards. This avoids unwanted opening
through contact with obstacles.
Danger!
Always check the proper
setting of quick release levers before
riding, especially when the bicycle has been
unattended.
The first miles
The first 300 km (186 miles) are important for
breaking in the bicycle. During the first use of
a new bicycle the screws may settle and be-
come loose. Cables and spokes may stretch.
Bearings may show play. Please be very atten-
tive during that period.
After 300 km or after two months at the
latest you will have to take your bicycle to a
bicycle mechanic for the first service. Please
record this first service and the work per-
formed in the warranty pass on page 74. This
first service is the prerequisite for further use
of the bicycle and for your warranty claims.
