for a very easy steering. A too high cable tension can be noticed among other things by needing more
force to steer. A too high cable tension can leads to a raised pressure and wear and tear on the steering
system. This can cause permanent deformations/damage.
To ensure the full technical functionality of the steering system, the condition of the cable and, the
axle arm and all other parts connected to the steering system have to be checked regularly. The whole
cable should be checked for signs of damage. The most important areas to check are shown in the
images below.

The steering cable, even single braids, may not show any signs of damage. If a damage of the steering
cable (broken braids) is visible, the cable has to be replaced immediately. The cable has to be
exchanged by a specialist, e.g. the bike shop where you bought the Veleon. Pay attention to the service
manual of the steering system.
If the tension of the steering cable significantly increases when Veleon is tilted one way or the other,
the steering system should be checked by a specialist. The reason for this can be a deformation at the
axle arm, caused by overstress.
Even if the driving behavior is not negatively influenced, the steering system has to be repaired by a
specialist. If the steering system is not repaired, the cable can take severely damage due to the highly
increased stress, ultimately resulting in a failure of the steering.
The steering cable should be completely changed for safety reasons every two years, even if no visible
damage occurs.
