OPERATING MANUAL
Translation of the Original instruction manual

To start with, we’d like to provide you with some important information
about your new bicycle. This will help you make the most of its benets
and avoid any possible risks. Please read this instruction manual carefully
and keep it for your future reference.
Your bicycle has been handed over to you fully assembled and adjusted.
If this is not the case, please contact your specialist retailer to ensure that
this important work is completed or make sure you carefully read the en-
closed assembly instructions and follow all the directions given.
It is assumed that users of this product have a basic and sufcient knowl-
edge of how to use bicycles.
Everyone that:
• uses
• repairs or services
• cleans
• or disposes of
this bicycle has to understand and take note of the content and purpose of
this operating manual. If you have any further questions or have not quite
understood certain points, you should contact a specialist bicycle retailer
for your own safety.
All information contained in this operating manual relates to the design,
technology as well as care and maintenance of your bicycle. Please take
note of this information, as much of it is relevant to safety. Failure to con-
sider this information can cause accidents, falls and damage to property.
As modern bicycle technology is highly complex, we have chosen to only
describe the most important points.
In addition, this operating manual only applies to the bicycle with which it
was supplied.
For more specific technical details, please refer to the enclosed
notes and instructions from the respective manufacturers of the
individual components used on the bicycle. If you are unsure about
a particular point, please contact your specialist retailer.
Before riding your bicycle on public roads, you should inform yourself
about the applicable national regulations in your specic country.
Firstly, here are a few important pointers as to the rider’s person which
are also very important:
• Always wear a suitable bicycle helmet adjusted to t
your head and wear it for every ride!
• Read the instructions supplied by your helmet manu-
facturer relating to tting the helmet properly.
• Always wear bright clothing or sportswear with reec-
tive elements when you ride. If you are riding in dif-
cult terrain, please wear suitable protective clothing,
e.g. body protectors. This is vital so that other people
can SEE YOU.
• Always wear tight clothing on your lower body, and trouser clips if re-
quired. Your shoes should be grippy and have stiff soles.
Even if you are an experienced bicycle user, please take the time to rst
read the chapter “Before your rst ride” and then carry out all the impor-
tant checks from the chapter “Before each ride”!
Please note that as a bike rider, you are particularly at risk on public roads.
Ensure that you protect yourself and others with responsible and safe
riding!

If you leave this page unfolded when you read this guide, you can immediately recognise which part of the bicycle is being referred to.
Bicycle parts

The illustration shows the 3T Exploro Gravelbike version. The bike you purchased may look somewhat different. This manual describes
bicycles in the following categories: Road Racing bike, Triathlon/Time trial bike, Cyclocross bike, Single-speed bike/Fixie. This operating
manual only applies to the bicycle with which it was supplied.
Please carefully read all warnings and notes in this operating manual be-
fore using the bicycle. We recommend keeping the manual close to your
bicycle, so that it is always at hand.
Please ensure you read the chapters “Before the rst ride” and “Be-
fore each ride” before using the bicycle for the rst time!
If you lend your bicycle to a third party, please give them this operating
manual with the bicycle.
This operating manual contains different types of pointers – one providing
important information about your new bicycle and how to use it, a second
referring to possible damage to property and the environment, and a third
type warning against potential falls and serious damage, including physi-
cal injury. The fourth type of pointer asks you to comply with the correct
torque in order to prevent components from coming loose or breaking.
If you see this symbol, there is always a risk that the danger described
can occur!
The text which the warning covers always has a grey background.
Check that all quick releases are safe and secure every time you ride after
your bicycle was unused, even for a short period of time! Regularly check
that all bolts and components are secure.
Note that components made of composite materials, i.e. carbon bre, often
require a lower tightening torque (see “Bolted connections” section, page
26). Common parts made of carbon bre include the handlebars, stems,
seat posts and saddle rails, frames, forks, and cranks. Ask your specialist
retailer to instruct you on how to properly use and maintain these materials.
Never ride with your hands off the handlebars.
Safety information
C4
Modern bicycle technology is high tech! Working on bicycle parts
therefore requires expert knowledge, experience and specialist
tools! Please do not attempt to work on the bicycle yourself! Give
your bicycle to a specialist retailer for repair, servicing and maintenance!
Information: This symbol provides information about how
to use the product or highlights specic parts of the operat-
ing manual that are particularly important.
Warning: This symbol is aimed at warning you against im-
proper use that could result in damage to property or the
environment.
Danger: This symbol indicates possible dangers to your
health and life that could arise if specic actions are not
made or corresponding care is not taken.
Important bolted connection! Please adhere to the exact
recommended torque when tightening this connection.
The correct mounting torque is either displayed on the
component or listed in the table of torques in the “Bolt-
ed connections” section (page 26). A torque wrench has to be used
to achieve the precise prescribed torque. If you don’t own a torque
wrench then you should always leave this work up to a specialist
retailer! Parts which do not have the correct torque could fall off or
break! This can result in serious accidents!
The warnings break down as follows:
