BIKE TRANSPORTATION
Always use certificated systems to transport your bike. An unsuitable transportation system
may damage parts of your bike which are important for safety and lead to dangerous riding
situations, falls, accidents and material damage.
This bike may only be transported inside a vehicle. Please note during transportation that the bike is
secured and is not damaged by other packaging items for example. For transportation you may
remove the front and rear wheels and the saddle stem with saddle if these are fitted with quick
releases. Only undertake this disassembly if you are sure that you can reassemble these parts
correctly. If you do not have the knowledge necessary ask your dealer to instruct you in this regard.
If your bike is inside a vehicle solar radiation can cause the tyres to burst or come away
from the rim. Let the air out of the tyres prior to transportation and fill them again after
transportation.
FIT AND REMOVE WHEELS
Incorrectly fitted wheels can lead to dangerous riding situations, falling, accidents and
material damage.
You must have your dealer demonstrate fitting and removing your road wheels. Practice this job at
least once under his supervision and control. Only remove and fit the seat post and saddle if you are
sure you have mastered this job.
