.
2. If the bicycle is fitted with a derailleur system, shift to the small chain ring at the front
and the smallest sprocket at the rear to relieve the cables as much as possible.
3. Store the bicycle in a dry room protected from freezing temperatures and major
temperature fluctuations.
4. Hang up the bicycle by the frame, if necessary, to prevent the tyres from deforming.

Risk of damage!
Improper transportation can damage the bicycle or its components.

Remove sensitive components (e.g. the display) or protect the components in
other ways to avoid damage during transport.

lock, if necessary.

tion in the manufacturer's instructions for the bicycle rack and other components, if
necessary.
