Before every journey
Risk of accident caused by material damage or improper assembly.
- Check to ensure the quick release elements and your wheels have been firmly and correctly
secured.
- Check your brakes (brake block, lever, cables and pads) to make sure they are undamaged and
functioning properly every time you use your bike. Send us your THM-Fibula racing brakes before
further use if damage is visible (cracks, fractures, deformations, etc.) or if you are in any doubt
about their functionality.
- Check your THM components before each journey to ensure the surfaces are completely
undamaged. Send us your THM components for inspection before further use if damage is
visible (deep scratches in the paintwork which extend into the carbon structure, large abrasions,
etc.) or if you are in any doubt about their functionality.
- Do not exceed the maximum rider weight for which your THM components have been approved
– see
Dimensions, page 8.
WARNING
Check the braking rims of your wheels for foreign
objects – remove any foreign objects found.
Check the brake pads for damage (cracks, breakage,
etc.) and foreign objects (stones, shards of glass etc.).
Replace any defective brake pads with new ones before
riding your bicycle or remove the foreign objects.
MAINTENANCE

T H M F I B U L A
The maintenance intervals required for your bicycle depend on how often and in which weather
conditions it is used.
The following maintenance measures should be conducted more frequently if the bicycle is used
in extreme conditions (rain, dirt, long distances, etc.).
When conducting regular maintenance procedures make sure your bicycle is always clean and
well protected by lubricants and cleaning agents. Ask your specialist dealer about appropriate
lubricants and cleaning agents as well as information relating to their correct application.
Regular maintenance
Never use a high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to
clean your bicycle, as the seals of your bicycle components
are not able to withstand the pressure.
If such cleaners are used, it would result in corrosion and
material damage.
If you are using a hose, handle it with care - never aim the
hose directly at the bearing components (fig. 3).
NOTICE
Clean your THM-Fibula racing brakes at regular intervals
by using water and a non-abrasive, environmentally
friendly cleaning agent.
Use a plastic scraper to remove any brake pad residue
from the braking rims of your wheels at regular
intervals. If required, use a cloth moistened with a small
amount of petrol or spirit to remove the last remaining
residues.
MAINTENANCE
Reduction in the free movement of the THM-Fibula racing brakes due to adherence of dirt on
lubricated components.
- Do not apply any lubricant (grease, oil, silicone, Teflon, etc.) to the joints of the brake blocks.
- The free movement of the THM-Fibula racing brake can be ensured by regularly cleaning the
joints with water.

Risk of damage to the surface by dissolving the epoxy
resins.
- Only briefly wipe the surface with the moistened cloth.
- Do not allow the petrol or spirit to react.
