7.6 Chain cover behind the seat 

 
This  cover  protects  the  chain  tubes  behind  the  seat.  It  comes  in  handy  when  you  want  to  position 
luggage behind the seat. Don't put heavy luggage on the bare chain tubes, because then they will be 
pushed out of your ideal line and the drive will no longer run efficiently. The chain then rubs in the 
chain tube. With the carbon cover you can avoid this and use the space behind the seat for luggage. 
 
  
 
We hope that with these instructions we have given you a safe introduction to the world of Bülk MK1 
driving. 
We wish you a lot of fun and driving pleasure! 
 
Your Velomobile World Team!
