Water bottle Cage, Mudguards
Mudguards
At bicycles with suspension mudguards are ex-
posed to very strong vibrations through which
they may break. Please check the stays of the
mudguard regularly for their position and
check the mudguards for cracks or deforma-
tions. Immediately replace damaged mud-
guards.
In order to prevent falls you have to fasten the
stays of the front mudguard with a security
clip that opens under pressure.When the clip
has opened once please replace it with a new
one.
Alternatively you can mount the stays at the
two outer screws of the U-brace or fasten it
with a clip in the middle of the lower leg of
the suspension fork.
After you have performed service work or re-
placed mudguards check if the wheels turn
freely. Between mudguard and wheel has to be
a distance of at least 7 mm.
Caution!
You must not mount additional
parts like rear lights or reflectors to the
mudguards since those may break then.
Danger!
If branches or other obstacles get
caught in the wheels while riding and are
moved around they may drag the mudguards
along.The mudguard can possibly fold up be-
tween frame and tire and hence block the
wheel, which may lead to a serious fall. If you
hear any unknown noises while riding stop
immediately and remove anything that might
cling to the mudguards or the wheels.
Water bottle cage
You can mount a water bottle cage with a spe-
cial bracket behind the seat.The derailleur
tube at the front of the frame comes with
threading inserts M5 for an additional water
bottle cage as well.
Another useful alternative to water bottles are
systems with a "water bag" and a drinking
hose, e.g. from S
OURCE
or C
AMELBAG
.You can
simply strap them behind the seat, onto the
rear rack or into the Speedbag.
