FRAME
The Ossby
frame’s design has been patented by the brand. It is made of
100% aluminium; it is very light and whist at the same time resistant.
BREAKS
The OSSBY bike is equipped with independently operating front and rear
disc brakes. Do not ride with only one working brake. Check that the brakes
are in good condition before using your bike. The left lever activates the
front wheel, and the right lever operates the rear brake. When you squeeze
the brake lever towards you, you activate the disc brake, and the bike slows
down.
⚠︎
Please note that the braking distance may vary. On a rain-wet road, the
braking distance is considerably lengthened (up to 40%).
⚠︎
Disc brakes can become overheated with prolonged or heavy use. Do not
touch the rotor until it has cooled down.
⚠︎
Under no circumstances should the bicycle be used when the braking
system (for example, the cables) is damaged. If this is the case, contact the
nearest store in the Ossby distribution network.
WHEELS
The front wheel of the OSSBY CURVE bike is 12 inches and the rear wheel is
14 inches.
For comfortable and safe riding, the tires must be properly inflated. The
correct pressure is marked on each tire.
Front and rear tire pressure: maximum 40 PSI / 2.8 Bar.
It is very important to use an inflator that indicates the pressure to be able
to confirm it before use and ride the bicycle with the wheels properly
inflated.
The rim of the wheels must be smooth, without cracks. Check the state of
wear often.
Periodically check the condition of your tires. When it's time to change them,
you can find all the parts you need on our website ossby.com.
Correct spoke tension is very important for your safety. An authorised Ossby
representative can check the correct tension of the spokes of your wheels.
CHAIN
Periodically check the chain tension.
Clean the chain from dust and lubricate it with a suitable lubricant. After
1500km or maximum 3000km, the chain will have reached its degree of
wear. A worn chain can affect the durability of other items. It is important
that a specialist check the status of it. Changing a chain requires certain
knowledge and tools, which is why we recommend that it be done by a
professional.
⚠︎
When applying lubricant, make sure that the liquid does not come into
contact with the tires, rims, or the braking system as it could increase the
chances of an accident.
