3. As needed: If your paul&ernst bike has been exposed to water, sand, salt, or grit, or at least every 100
miles: clean your paul&ernst bike and lightly lubricate the chain’s rollers with a good quality bicycle chain
lubricant. Wipe off excess lubricant with a lint‐free cloth.
4. After every 10 to 20 hours of riding:
• Squeeze the front brakes and rock the paul&ernst bike forwards and backwards. If you feel it clunk with
each movement, your brakes may need to be adjusted. Have a professional bike mechanic check it.
• Grab one pedal and rock it toward and away from the centerline of the frame. Do the same with the
other pedal. If either feels loose, have a bicycle mechanic check the pedals out.
• Check the control cables and cable housings carefully. If you notice any rust, kinks, fraying, or other
imperfections, have a bicycle mechanic replace them.
• Squeeze each adjoining pair of spokes on either side of each wheel between your thumb and index
finger. If any feel loose, have your bicycle mechanic check the wheel for tension and trueness.
• Check the tires for excess wear, cuts, or bruises.
• The front wheels can be detached in case parts have to be replaced (tubes, tires, spokes and rims) or if
the foliation of the bike has to be replaced. We advise to have this repair / maintenance work done by a
professional bike mechanic.
5.
Before detaching the wheel, the braking device from the disc brake has to be detached. The
braking device has to be unscrewed from the bike frame. The screws (2xinbus) are located
underneath the exterior surface of the gastronomy unit pointing towards the center of the frame.
6.
When the braking device is detached make sure that the bike frame is stably supported so that
the wheel is elevated from the ground.
7.
Unmount the center screw to detach the wheel from the axis.
8.
WARNING: use proper force to mount the screws of the braking device and the center screw. If
these components were to loosen up of fall out during a ride it could cause a serious accident.
We therefore strongly advise to have this work done by a professional bike mechanic.
• Check to make sure that all parts and accessories are still secure and tighten any which are not.
5. Every 100 hours: Take your paul&ernst bike to a bicycle repair workshop for a complete checkup.
WARNING: like any mechanical device, your paul&ernst bike and its components are subject to wear and
stress. Different materials and mechanisms wear or fatigue from stress at different rates and have
different life cycles. If a component’s life cycle is exceeded, the component can suddenly fail, causing
serious injury.
While the materials and workmanship of your paul&ernst bike or of the individual components may be
covered by a warranty for a specified period of time by the manufacturer, this is no guarantee that the
product will last the term of the warranty. Product life is often related to the kind of riding you do and to
the treatment to which you submit the vehicle. The paul&ernst bike warranty is not meant to suggest that
the vehicle cannot be broken or will last forever. It only means that the product is covered subject to the
terms of the warranty.
WARNING: A crash or other impact can put extraordinary stress on bicycle components, causing them to
fatigue prematurely. Components suffering from stress fatigue can fail suddenly and catastrophically,
causing loss of control and/or serious injury.
