4. Inspecting hydraulic and disc brakes
DANGER:
The brake system can fail completely if there is too much dirt on the brake discs. In
such a case, carry out maintenance immediately.
SCORCH RISK:
The discs may heat up if used intensively. If you touch them, you can suffer
burns.
Check the brake caliper by trying to turn it in every direction. The caliper should hold tightly and
should not be able to move in any direction.
Check the brake lubricant by squeezing the brake levers with maximum force and then
looking for any lubricant leakage.
The brake discs cannot be bent, scratched or otherwise mechanically damaged.
Check the brake disc
– lift the wheel off the ground and spin it. It should spin silently and
there should be no resistance.
Check the brake discs/pads for wear (instructions above).
NOTE:
The brake discs, pads and calipers can significantly wear during several-day rides.
That’s why it is recommended to bring spare calipers and pads with you. However, some skill
and knowledge is required to replace these components. Consult the seller if necessary. If you
feel you cannot replace these components by yourself, ask a qualified professional for help.
5. Inspecting mechanical disc brakes
Checking the cables is described in point 2, checking the calipers in point 4.
INSPECTING THE CRANKS AND THE CHAIN
1. Squeeze the cranks to the frame (as depicted).
You should not be able to otherwise move them
and they should not make any noise during a ride.
2.
Don’t forget to check the chain. It should be clean
and the links cannot be deformed. When you spin
the pedals back, the chain should move freely
without falling off.
ASSEMBLY, MAINTENANCE AND SETTINGS
TOOLS/TECHNICAL SUPPORT
The bike was assembled in a manufacturing plant and later partly disassembled for easier transport. It

original package. If you
act according to the following instructions, you’ll ensure the bike’s longevity.
Follow the instructions and check if you have all the parts and tools necessary to complete the assembly.
