General Instructions for use, safety and warnings
IMPORTANT: Riding a bicycle involves dangers for you and other road users. Therefore, ride
only with appropriate protective equipment and only if you are in a healthy physical and
mental condition.
IMPORTANT: Braking distance, braking and riding behavior can change considerably on
wet, curvy, uneven or dirty roads. Therefore, always adapt your driving style and speed to
the conditions of the area and the weather.
IMPORTANT: Before each ride, check all safety-relevant components on your bicycle to
ensure that they are fully functional. If you notice material fatigue or wear, do not start the
ride if you have any safety concerns. This applies in particular to damage such as cracks,
twists or oil leaks.
IMPORTANT: If you do not feel any or no clearly defined resistance when applying the
brakes or if you notice a reduced braking effect, stop riding immediately and consult an
expert bicycle workshop.
CAUTION: Risk of falling, accident, injury and death if the above instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT: The brake lever must never be tightened when the wheel or brake pads are
removed, unless the placeholder supplied with the brake system has been installed be-
forehand.
IMPORTANT: If the threadlocker is worn, apply some light-weight threadlocker to it and
then check the threadlocker function.
IMPORTANT: In particular, also check before each ride that the EPA and the CPA screw can-
not turn on their own.
Note: If you unscrew the CPA screw or EPA screw completely, it is essential that you ensure the
correct assembly order of the components: 1. screw in the EPA screw; 2. insert the spring sleeve;
3. screw in the CPA screw.
