Brakes
Check the brake pads regularly for their quality. Brake pads need to
be replaced by new ones before reaching the wear mark. Both brake
pads must be replaced at the same time.
Brake pads must not get in contact with oil or fat. Well working brake
pads touch the outside of the rim, not the tires.
4.13. Wheels
The wheel has to sit firmly and centered in the frame or fork, and needs to rotate easily.
Use the quick-release (woom 4, 5 and 6) or a 5 mm hex key (woom 1, 1 PLUS, 2 and 3) for
fittings, to achieve the appropriate stability.
Rims wear embossed markings for wear of rims. After a certain period
of use, these will be visible. As soon as the markings show wear and
tear, don‘t allow your child to ride the bike with this rim or wheel
and have it replaced.
Rims are wear parts that are exposed to large loads. Deformed,
cracked, or broken wheels must be replaced immediately.
Spokes connect hubs with rims. They need to show a certain tension and have an influence
on the straightness of a wheel. Check the tension of the spokes regularly.
Check the profile, the air pressure and the condition of the tires
regularly. Replace worn-out tires immediately.
