5.2 After your ride
DANGER
Brake failure or reduced braking power due to dirty brake pads or disc rotors!
Brake pads and disc rotors must be free from lubricating substances such as grease, oil (also skin oil), wax, silicone etc.!
Brake pads or disc rotors contaminated in this way must no longer be used!
5.2.1 Cleaning your bike
After your ride, you should clean your bike thoroughly using a soft cloth and clear water. Never use a high pressure
washer!
Stubborn dirt can be removed with a gentle cleaning agent. In this case, it is best to use washing up liquids for
domestic needs. Pay attention to the notes and recommendations for use printed on the respective cleaner. In addition,
you will find numerous cleaning and care products for your bike on www.rosebikes.com.
5.2.2 Belt drive maintenance
Clean the belt and both pulleys after every ride:
• Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush and clear water. Remaining dirt can be removed with a gentle cleaning agent.
• Make sure there are no small stones, branches or other things between belt and pulleys.
A thin layer of dry silicone spray applied on the toothed side of the belt helps prevent squeaking noises.
5.2.3 Parking your bike
Bicycles should always be protected against falling down. Especially for lightweight bikes, it is often enough to fall down
from a standing position to permanently damage frame or components. Please also see ”Bike transport and storage“.
