After having performed service work or after
replacing mudguards check if the wheels turn
freely.There has to be a distance of at least 7
mm between mudguard and wheel.
Mounting mudguards
The front mudguard mounting is attached by
headset’s cap and screw and fastened against
the headset clamp. Make sure this clamp is fas-
tened properly
The little screw in the mudguard mounting fits
in the clamping slot of the headset clamp and
secures the mounting against turning.
If you decide to uninstall the mudguards, re-
place the mudguard mounting with a 5 mm
spacer.

Danger!
If branches or other obstacles get
caught in the wheels while riding and are
moved around they may drag the mudguards
along.The mudguard can possibly fold up be-
tween frame and tire and hence block the
wheel, which may lead to a serious fall. If you
hear any unknown noises while riding stop
immediately and remove anything that might
cling to the mudguards or the wheels.
Water bottle cage
You can mount a water bottle cage with a spe-
cial bracket behind the seat.The derailleur
tube at the front of the frame comes with
threaded inserts M5 for an additional water
bottle cage as well.
An useful alternative to water bottles are sys-
tems with a "water bag" and a drinking hose,
e.g. from S
OURCE
or C
AMELBAG
.You can simply
strap them behind the seat or on the rear
rack.
Raincover
To keep the meshseat dry when your tricycle
is parked in the rain there is a raincover avail-
able as accessory. It can be stowed in the bag
of your meshseat.
To make sure the raincover is safely fastened
all over the meshseat the most forward strap
has to be equipped with two plastic clamps
(supplied with the raincover).The raincover
must be hooked to the clamps.
