Tyre Wear
Due to higher driving forces the tyre of the rear wheel can wear down
faster than with a conventional bicycle. Therefore, check the tread
depth regularly and replace a worn tyre in time. For more information
see chapter
“Check the wheels”
of your general CUBE handbook.
disc brakes
If your CUBE EPO pedelec has disc brakes
(h)
, if you want to refit your
CUBE EPO pedelec with disc brakes or if you do any servicing at the
rotor, keep in mind that the supplied Torx screws fastening the rotor
to the drive housing are special size screws! They comply with ISO
standard 7380 and are M5x7 mm. The tightening torque is 5 Nm and
must be strictly observed. If you have no suitable torque wrench with
bits, contact your bicycle dealer.
A
Only use the original screws supplied with the drive. In par-
ticular, the screws for the fastening of the rotor to the drive
housing have special sizes in terms of length and strength.
These screws are Torx screws that must be tightened to a
torque of 5 Nm!
Wheel Mounting
Mounting the wheel is done in the reverse order of dismounting.
Make sure the wheel axle slides snugly with its surfaces into the
drop-outs
(e)
without getting jammed. Tighten the Pinhead®-locking
system (see chapter
“how to use the
pinhead®-locking system”
).
Pull the brake lever
(f)
several times after mounting the wheel. Lift
the CUBE EPO pedelec off the ground and spin the wheel. With the
wheel spinning the rotor should not drag along the brake calliper or
the brake pads.
Subsequently, reconnect the magnetic connector of the drive cable
with the connector plug at the bottom bracket shell
(g)
. Your CUBE
EPO pedelec is now ready for use.
A
Before setting off again check that the rotors are still free
of grease or other lubricants after the wheel mounting.
A
Always do a brake test as described in chapter “Before
Every Ride“!
