Fig. Key features of an optimal sitting position
If the optimal sitting position cannot be achieved by adjusting the
seat and the handlebars, on many bicycle models it is possible to
replace the relevant components.
If selling or passing the bicycle on to another person, this can be
an option to enable continued use of the bicycle.
•
If the sitting position cannot be optimally adjusted, ask your
specialist dealer to fit components with different measure-
ments.

Wear
WaRninG
Malfunction caused by excessive wear and tear, material
fatigue or loose screw connections.
Risk of accident and injury!
•
Check the condition of your bicycle regularly.
• Do not use the bicycle if you notice excessive wear or
loose screw connections.
• Do not use the bicycle if you notice any cracks, distor-
tions or changes in colour.
•
If you notice any signs of excessive wear and tear, loose
screw connections, distortion, cracks or colour changes,
you should get your specialist dealer to inspect your
bicycle immediately.
As with all mechanical components, bicycle components are sub-
ject to wear. High levels of strain and improper use exacerbate
wear. Different materials wear out at different rates.
Only a specialist dealer is able to assess wear on components
made of aluminium, carbon or composite materials.
