Before going on a ride
(Dis-)Assembling the front wheel
Always check the following points before every ride:
1. Are the axle nuts properly fastened on both wheels? (for tightening
torques, see table on page 42)
2. Are both tires in a safe state and do they have enough pressure? Not
enough tire pressure impairs riding stability and tire life. Please see tire
flank for correct tire pressure. The table on page 41 also contains
suggestions.
3. Test both brakes while standing. After only short brake lever travel,
there should be palpable pressure and resistance building up. The brake
lever should not be able to be pulled all the way to the handlebar with
normal manual force.
1. Remove the plug from the hub dynamo.
2. Loosen the axle bolt just enough to remove the wheel from the fork.
3. Tighten the M6 hub-bolt with the torque according to the chart
(page 42).
If your bike is faulty in any of the aforementioned points,
do not operate it!
Always wear proper, preferably bright and visible, clothing.
Wear tight legwear. That way, you prevent your clothes
from getting caught in the drive. Danger of accident! Wear
footwear that fits the pedal system.
Your Schindelhauer is subject to both environmen-
tal- and physical influences due to ground properties,
and your applied force. This causes wear and tear in
multiple parts and components of the bike. Please
perform regular checks on your bike and look out for
rips, scratches, bends, as well as stains and discolora-
tion etc. Components that passed their lifespan may fail
suddenly and without prior warnings. Please regularly
take your Schindelhauer to professional inspections,
where outworn parts can be replaced. Please find further
information on maintenance and safety in the chapters
“care instructions”, in the “tightening torques” tables and
“service and maintenance”.
To prevent damage to your Schindelhauer, please always
stay within the maximum total weight of your bike and
transport restrictions pointed out in the chapter “intended
use”.
