Puncture kit
The most important accessories for a successful
cycle tour are a tire pump and a small tool kit. The
tool kit should include two plastic tire levers, the most
commonly used Allen keys, a spare tube, a tire repair
kit, your mobile phone, if necessary, and a little cash
(a)
. You will be better prepared in case of a puncture.
Cycle computers
There are electronic computers that show your cur-
rent and average speed, your daily and annual mile-
age as well as the duration of the present ride
(b)
.
Real de luxe models also give the highest speed
achieved, differences in elevation, your cadence or
your heart rate.
Today, there are global positioning systems (GPS)
and specific power meters for optimal training on the
market which are compatible with your CENTURION
road bike.
Aero or triathlon/time trial bars
Before you mount aero or triathlon/time trial bars
(c)
on your CENTURION road bike, it is essential to find
out first whether the handlebars or a corresponding
attachment for use with your handlebars and stem
are approved.
i
Read the operating instructions of the
handlebar and stem manufacturers on
this CENTURION CD-ROM. If you are in
doubt or if you have any questions, contact your
CENTURION dealer!
Fenders/mudguards
If you want to mount mudguards on your CENTURION
road bike, ask your CENTURION dealer for advice.
There are removable mudguards
(d)
, also referred
to as clip-on mudguards, as well as firmly attached
models that provide more protection.
Retrofittable fenders for a fix fastening are usually
made of plastics and are secured in the correct po-
sition by means of additional stays. The length of the
stay is perfect when the bottom edge of the fender
runs at an approx. distance of 15 mm in parallel to
the tire.
For safety reasons the front wheel stays must have
security fastenings. They prevent the tire from being
blocked by impurities taken up by the front wheel
from the ground. In this case the security fastening
frees the stay and hereby prevents a possible acci-
dent. The plug connection can easily be refastened.
G
Damaged fenders should be replaced in
any case. Risk of an accident!
