Maintenance
Regular maintenance
The maintenance intervals required for your bicycle depend on how often and in which
weather conditions it is used.
The following maintenance measures should be conducted more frequently if the bicycle
is used in extreme conditions (rain, dirt, long distances, etc.).
When conducting regular maintenance procedures make sure your bicycle is always
clean and well protected by lubricants and cleaning agents. Ask your specialist dealer
about appropriate lubricants and cleaning agents as well as information relating to their
correct application.
WARNING
Risk of accident caused by a malfunctioning crank system due to loose screw connections.
-Check the required tightening torque of all screw connections after the first 100 km - re-
tighten the connections if necessary. Repeat this check every 2500km!
Risk of accident caused by a malfunctioning crank due to wear.
-Do not continue to use your Clavicula component if the Clavicula lettering is abraded
at one or more points (wear indicator).
Risk of accident caused by malfunctioning brakes.
-After conducting any cleaning, maintenance or repair work make sure that the braking
rims of your wheels are free from lubricants (such as grease, oil, silicon, Teflon, wax or
other similar agents).
NOTICE
Never use a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to
clean your bicycle, as the seals of your bicycle com-
ponents are unable to withstand the pressure. This will
result in corrosion and material damage.
If you are using a hose, handle it with care - never aim
the hose directly at the bearing components (fig. 1).
 Clean your THM-components at regular intervals by
using water and a non-abrasive, environmentally-
friendly cleaning agent.
 When cleaning your THM components always
check for signs of damage (dents, cracks, scratches,
large abrasions, worn areas, etc.).
 Periodically preserve the surface of your THM com-
ponents using a high quality protecting wax or other
similar agent.
