Thesaddle is correctlyadjustedwhen your heel
reaches the pedal (whenthe pedalisatthelowest

youare pedaling your leg should be bent at the
knee.See Image 1.
While adjusting theheight
pay attention that theseat

If theseat post is notcorrect-

If it is not possible to adjust

larger frame.
A guideline to nd your

If you have a seat post with two

Be carfeul not to assemble it back-

!
In principle the handlebar-heigt is correctly adjusted
when the saddle and the stem are on the same level
(see image 5). Please notice: At mountain and racing
bikes the saddle top edge can be about 5-11 cm above
the handlebar. At City-, Dirt-,Downhill- and Freeride-
Bikes the handlebar should be about 15cm above the
saddle top edge.

Shiing Gears
•It is necessaryto keep on pedaling with loweo-
while shiing.
•Themobile pas of the shiing gear should be
cleanedandadequately lubricatedaer aride in
therain.
•Avoid afast shiing thorugh all gears. Never shi-
while pedaling backward! Risk of ajammed chain.
Because of thehuge varietyof shiing control types it
is not possible to explaineach functioning. Therefore
askyour dealer forfuher explanationsor read the
manufacturer’s user manual carefully

Thevarious chainrings/rear sprocketscombinations
determine the gear.
As soon as youhave mastered the shiing your expe-

Tyre pressure:
The tyre pressure should be adaptedto themanufac-
turer’s
recommendation.Always pay attention to
therecommendationson the tyre’s sidwall [e.g.min. 3
bar (42, 6 psi)-max. 4,5 bar (65 psi)]
Guideline for tyre pressure:
Tyre puncture:
Inside thebicycle tyre isatube.
(Exception:tubeless systems-inthat case please
read themanufacturer’s manuals)
What to do when having a tyre puncture:
• Dismantlethewheel
• Push alltheair out of thetube
• Remove the tyre on one side from therimwith a
tyre lever
• Easily inate thenewor repaired tube and put it into
the tyre
• Put thevalve through thehole in therim
• Pull the tyre to both sidesovertherim
When inating pay attention thetube is notsqueezed
between tyre andrim!
Optimalpressure: see guideline on thele side!

Rims
Please notice that bikesequipped with rimbrakes
have ahuge eectconcerning therims wear.
When doing longdownhill-ridesand/or riding during
wetconditions (rain, snow) therimcan show signsof
wear even aer a sho period of time.
Every type equipped with rimbrakes (ex works) have
special wear indicators (exceptracing bikes). Depend-
ing on the type this canbe ahollow (see image1)or
little points (see image2)on therim. Fuher there
canbe an invisible wear indicatorwhich signalizes a

Riding with anotproperly locked quick releasesystem
maycause falls andserious injuries! Thefollowing is
very impoant:
1. If youhave any questionsconcerning theright
use of the quick releasesystem read the user
manual carefully or contactyour dealer!
2. It is impoantto learnhowto montageand
use the quick realease system properly in
orderto x thewheels/seat post correctly!
3. Before everyride checkyour quick release
systems!
The quick release system’s lever has to be closed
with force so that the quick release system does not
open during the ride.
If it can be closed to easily the nut on the other side
has to be tightened up a bit. Now you should feel more
resistance when closing the lever. If the lever can still be
closed too easily repeat the tightening up of the nut.
