Spokes
A correct tension of the spokes ensures a stable tricycle. Because of the
functioning of the new spokes, the wheels of your Cortes need to be checked after
200 kilometres or 2 months. Your Huka dealer can take care of that. Should a
spoke break or become loose, consult your Huka dealer as well.
Chainglider & chain
The chainglider is made of impact-resistant plastic. This chainglider protects the
chain from dirt and water and also ensures that the chain cannot soil your legs or
clothing.
With a good chain tension your Cortes will pedal lightly and you won't hear the
chain. If you notice that the chain is too slack, have it adjusted by your Huka
dealer.
Brakes
The basic model of the Cortes is equipped with a V-brake as a front brake. Next to
that the hydraulic disc brakes control the rear wheels. Your Huka is also provided
with a parking brake that you use when getting on and off the bike.
TIP
ADVICE FROM RICHARD
In time, brakes can wear out and are very
important for safety while cycling. That is why you should have your
brakes checked regularly and, if necessary, adjusted or replaced. Your
Huka dealer can help you with this.
Always ensure that the parking brake is activated when getting
on or off the bike. This prevents the bike from rolling away.
