Before going on a ride
(Dis-)Assembling the front wheel
Always check the following point before every ride you undergo:
1. Are the axle nuts properly fastened on both wheels? (for tightening
torques, see table on page 38)
2. Are both tires in a safe state and do they have enough pressure? Not
enough tire pressure impairs driving stability and tire life. Please see tire
flank for specification regarding tire pressure. Table on page 37 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. Hydraulic brakes must not be leaking.
• Turn the quick-release-lever on the brake. Fig. 4 shows the starting
point. Press the quick release button and turn the attachment bracket
upwards to open the brake and give clearance to the rim and the tire
(fig.5). Loosen the bolts of the hub until you can lift the wheel out of the
fork drop-out. Use an Allen-wrench size 5 for this.
• Assembly works in reverse order.
• Tighten the M6 hub-bolt with the torque according to the chart
(page 38).
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 or use knee-bands. That
way, you prevent your clothes from getting caught in
the drive. Danger of accident! Wear footwear that fits the
pedal system.
Your Schindelhauer Bike is subject to both environ-
mental- and physical influences due to ground proper-
ties, 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 Bike 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 Bike, please
always stay within the maximum total weight of your
bike and transport restrictions pointed out in the chapter
“intended use”.

Do not forget to bring the quick-release back in the
starting-position! (fig. 4)
