3.  Spin the wheels to check whether the rims are 

true. If you have disc brakes, watch the gap be-

tween frame and rim or tire and, if you have rim 

brakes, between brake pad and rim. Untrue rims 

can be an indication of tires with ruptured sides, 

broken axles or spokes.

  For more information see the chapter “The 

wheels and the tires” and the instructions of the 

component manufacturers on this CENTURION 

CD-ROM.

4.   Test the brakes at standstill by firmly pulling the 

brake levers towards the handlebars 

(e)

. The 

brake pads of rim brakes must hit the rim evenly 

with their entire surface without touching the tire 

during braking or in open condition or in between. 

Make sure you cannot pull the brake levers all the 

way to the handlebars and check the hydraulic 

brake cables for leaks! Check the thickness of the 

brake pads, as well.

 

With disc brakes you should have a stable pres-

sure point at once. If you have to actuate the 

brake lever more than once to get a positive 

braking response, have the CENTURION road 

bike checked by your CENTURION dealer imme-

diately.

 

For more information see the chapter “The brake 

system” and the instructions of the component 

manufacturers on this CENTURION CD-ROM.

5.  Let your CENTURION road bike bounce on the 

ground from a small height 

(f)

. If there is any rat-

tling, see where it comes from. Check the bear-

ings and bolted connections, if necessary. Tight-

en them slightly, if necessary.

6.  Do not forget to take a high quality D- 

(g) 

or 

chain lock with you on your ride. The only way 

to effectively protect your CENTURION road bike 

against theft is to lock it to an immovable object.

7.  If you want to ride on public roads, make sure 

your CENTURION road bike is equipped accord-

ing to the applicable regulations of your country 

(h)

. Riding without lights and reflectors in dark 

or dim conditions is very dangerous because you 

will be seen too late or not at all by other road 

users.

 

A lighting set that corresponds to the regulations 

is a must on public roads. Turn on the lights as 

soon as dusk sets in. 

 

For more information see the chapter “Legal re-

quirements for riding on public roads”.
