Do not undertake any manipulations other
than those explained in this manual.
CHECK BEFORE EVERY RIDE THAT:
1. DAILY HOOK is safely attached onto your bicycle. Both
hooks have to be tensioned and the safety spring has to
sit in its designated seat (see «3.PARTS DESCRIPTION»).
2. No part of your DAILY HOOK can engage or is engaging
with any moving parts of the bicycle.
3. DAILY HOOK can not come loose unintentionally.
4. DAILY HOOK has not been exposed to «extreme» environmental sit-
uations. DAILY HOOK has been tested both in use and storage in tem-
peratures ranging from-10° to +50°C and exposed to rain and saltwater
deriving from road maintenance and/or human sweat. Anything beyond
these tested enivronmental situations is considered as extreme.
If you are unsure about any of these points, consult a professional
bike mechanic, and get him/her a beer while you are at it.
DEAR BICYCLE FRIEND!
Please read this manual.
Please ride bikes, hard.

4.ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY
If nothing goes wrong, you should never need to disassemble
your DAILY HOOK. If something DOES go wrong though (such
is life), here’s what you should consider:
1. EXCHANGING A TUBE
Loosen the clamping bolts, but leave them about 3 threads
in the thread. Then tap them with a rubber mallet. This will
loosen the slight presst between the clamping plate and
the hook. Then unthread the bolts completely. Remove the
tube. Thread a new tube through the hook. Loosely install
the clamping plate and bolts. Leave about 25mm (1 inch) of
excess tube. Tension both tube sides, then clamp down the
clamping plate with the two M3 bolts until there is no visible
gap between clamping plate and hook anymore.
2. EXCHANGING A SPRING.
Carefully lift the spring out of its retention holes. Start with
the longer spring arm. Be sure to lift/slow it down enough as
it comes out of the bore. This will prevent any scratches in the
hook. You can be a little rough with the spring, it is sturdy and
will snap back into its original shape for a looong time. Rein-
stallation goes exactly the same, just the other way around.

5.REPLACING THE RUBBER COATING
THE RUBBER COATING IS THE
ONLY WEAR PART ON DAILY HOOK.
It also is the only part which is not circular. We have
tried many solutions when developing DAILY HOOK,
but none of the circular ones were feasible for serial
production. But here are two perfectly functional
and circular solutions for you to do, once the rubber
has worn through. Of course, you could go to any
DIY shop and buy liquid rubber, to recoat it yourself,
but we recommend doing it as shown here below.
Because more circular, more better.
CORD
Wrap a piece of cord (about
105cm/42inches) around the hook.
This length gives you a bit of overlap
on each side (about 5cm/2inches)
which you can use to overwrap/knot
the cord. Start at the thin section,
working towards the thicker section.
We have had great success with 100%
hemp cords, they can just go into your
home compost once they have worn.
But hemp is really tough.
BUTYL
Cut a stripe of butyl from an old tube.
It should be roughly 32cm long and
5mm wide (12.6 X 0.2inch).
This length gives you a bit of extra
length at the end, to lock the end to
the hook with a thin brass/stainless
wire. Start at the thin section, working
towards the thicker section. Wrap just
like you would wrap a bartape. Stretch
the butyl strip a fair amount while do-
ing so. At the end, use a clamp to hold
the tensioned butyl stripe while you
wrap the wire around the end of the
strip. As with the tube used on
DAILY HOOK, try to bring back any bu-
tyl scraps to a dealer participating in
the Schwalbe butyl recycling program.

6.MAINTENANCE
Normally there is no need for any
maintenance on your DAILY HOOK.
The only thing you can do/should do, if you live and
ride in a place with lots of snow and salt on the
road, is apply a little grease in the areas highlighted
on this page. Due to the materiality (stainless steel
& aluminum) electric corrosion can occur between
the bolts, the clamping plate and the hook. You will
notice a little white-ish build up around these parts.
If you see that, take it appart and apply grease.
Then, keep riding.

Hint:
If your tube auto-inates and you don’t
like that, just poke 2-3 more holes in it
using a needle or an awl. There is one
such «factory punched» hole in each
DAILY HOOK, right in the center of
the tube. So place your holes be-
tween the center and the hooks
on each side for optimum «de-
flating». The holes will not re-
ally affect your tube-straps
strength. Butyl is tough!
