Turn the now movable stem by 90° relative to the fork so that the handlebar is
in parallel to the direction of travel. Turn the handlebar, if necessary, downwards
until its width is reduced to the minimum. Retighten the bolts slightly.
Protect the entire frame with air-cushion foil or foam tubes. Lift the frame
carefully into the cardboard carton and place the bottom bracket on the support.
If the STEVENS bicycle does not fit into the cardboard carton, you have to
dismount the seat post, if necessary. Mark it with a pen. This will help you to find
the proper height and alignment right away on the spot. Prepare a cardboard
padding for the seat tube. It should fix the position of the frame and fill the space
to the cover.
Slide a piece of sturdy cardboard over the long side into the bicycle cardboard
carton to create a second compartment for the wheels. Remove the quick-re-
leases from the hubs and pack the wheels with air-cushion foil. A rag over the
cassette sprockets keeps the packaging clean and can be used for bicycle care at
a later date. Slide the wheels into the carton. The cassette sprockets should show
to the inside and be positioned in the area of the frame triangle, where they cannot
cause any damage.
Pack the quick-releases, the pedals, the necessary tool, rags, chain oil and
penetrating lubricant and a pocket knife and adhesive straps for re-closing into
a cardboard box. Close the box and insert it into the bicycle cardboard carton in
a way that it stiffens it against transverse loads. Additional rags or air cushion foil
provide additional padding for the STEVENS bike.
Finish by marking “This side up” on the cardboard carton. Further options are
markings, such as “Caution Bike!” and “Caution Bike Inside!”, in big letters on the
cardboard carton.

STEVENS Vertriebs GmbH, Asbrookdamm 35, 22115 Hamburg, Germany,
ensures quality and durability of the STEVENS bikes. We ensure to final customers
(hereinafter referred to as “customer”) who have bought the bicycle in the Federal
Republic of Germany, in accordance with the present directive on guarantee that
the bicycle supplied to them will be free from defects in material and workmanship
during the period of guarantee. This guarantee is subject to the law of the Federal
Republic of Germany. The contractual or legal rights of the customer defined under
the product liability law or against the respective seller on the basis of warranty
due to a material defect acc. to §§ 434, 437 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB)
(supplementary performance, rescission, reduction, damages) are not affected by
these directives on guarantee.
Which Parts and Damages are Protected under the
Guarantee and how long is the Period of Guarantee?
A STEVENS bike is a bicycle which was assembled by us by using various
components and branded accessories (hereinafter referred to as components) of
renowned manufacturers. The guarantee includes the following components of
the STEVENS bicycle with the following periods of guarantee from the date of sale
to the first buyer:
• STEVENS bicycle frames and STEVENS bicycle forks (objects of guarantee) 6
years
• The performance of services under this guarantee leads neither to an exten-
sion nor to a recommencement of the period of guarantee.
Excluded from the guarantee are normal wear and tear and damage to the
objects of guarantee caused by a use deviating from normal provisions / stipula-
tions (see handbook / user manual – the chapters
“General Safety Instructions”
and
“Intended Use”
). The guarantee does not cover damage due to insufficient
care, maintenance, fall, overloading as a result of too heavy loads, inappropriate
assembly (non-observance of the manufacturers’ assembly instructions) as well
as mounting or retrofitting additional components to the bicycle which are not
approved by the manufacturer and / or jumps with the bicycle. The coating and / or
paint of the objects of guarantee is naturally subject to stress during use and can
wear down or be affected by minor damage; this kind of wear or such damage due
to mechanical stress (e.g. scratches caused by rough contact with other objects)
are excluded from the guarantee.
Note:
The rights of the end-user/customer from the warranty remain unaffected
by the present guarantee.
Note:
The coating/paint of
frames and forks is
subject to particular
consideration, i.e. the
coating is, by nature,
exposed to stress during
use and can wear down
or be affected by minor
damage. This type of
wear or damage as a
result of mechanical
stress (e.g. scratches
due to rough contact
with other objects) is not
covered by the terms of
warranty.
Caution:
The handlebar of
STEVENS road racing
bicycles with cockpit
option cannot be twisted
for transport as you may
be used to from other
road racing bicycles.
Caution:
Various manufactur-
ers offer specific bike
bags in which you can
transport your STEVENS
bike without twisting the
stem and the handlebar
beforehand or without
removing the handle-
bar-stem-combination.
Contact your STEVENS
dealer.
Caution:
Removing the handlebar
from the stem or the
stem from the steerer
tube in the case of
integrated and fully inte-
grated brake hoses and
Bowden cables requires
specialist knowledge,
experience, suitable
tools and manual skills
and should therefore
only be carried out by
professionals. Contact
your STEVENS dealer.
