Wheels and Tyre Equipment – Tyre puncture (rear)
For detailed information about repairing a puncture see chapter
“Wheels and tyres”
of your your general CUBE handbook. Besides
your Pinhead®-key you only need a replacement tube
(a)
or a punc-
ture kit, two tyre levers and a pump
(b)
.
i
The puncture risk can be reduced by using special punc-
ture sealants. Your bicycle dealer will be pleased to help
you.
Wheel Removal
Shift the rear derailleur to the outmost, smallest sprocket where it
does not interfere with the removal of the wheel. Unplug the mag-
netic connector at the bottom bracket before removing the rear
wheel. Subsequently, release the Pinhead®-locking system at the rear
wheel fastening by two to three turns
(c)
(see chapter
“how to use
the
pinhead®-locking system”
).
Now you can remove the rear wheel from the frame as in the case
of any usual bicycle. There are no measuring sensors that must be
considered during removal and mounting.
And there is no need to calibrate the measuring sensors after re-
mounting the rear wheel. All torque measuring sensors are in the
drive housing and accordingly protected against external influences.
You will find it easier to remove the rear wheel, when you pull the rear
derailleur slightly backwards
(d)
. Lift the CUBE EPO pedelec off the
ground and give the wheel from the top a gentle tap with your hand
so that it drops out.
g
Rotors can become hot, so let them cool down before re-
moving a wheel.
A
Do not pull the (disc) brake lever with a removed wheel
and make sure to mount the safety locks when removing
the wheel.
A
Keep the magnetic connector clean and dry as long as the
rear wheel is removed and check, before remounting the
wheel, whether the magnetic connector is soiled or dam-
aged. If the magnetic connector is soiled, clean it with a
rag before reconnecting it.
