Therefore, if it is re-sold at a later time, they must be handed over to the subsequent owner. These operating instructions are mainly intended for the rider and owner of the bicycle, who tend to be non- professionals. Staff at all specialist dealers have specialist training and qualifications, and are therefore capable of identifying risks and preventing hazards which may arise during maintenance, servicing and repairs on the bicycle. Information for specialist staff does not require non-professionals to take any action. 1.1 Manufacturer The manufacturer of the bicycle is: ZEG Zweirad-Einkaufs-Genossenschaft eG Longericher Straße 2 50739 Köln, Germany Tel.: +49 221 17959 0 Fax: +49 221 17959 31 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: www.zeg.de Text passages which are expressly intended for specialist staff (e.g. bicycle mechanics) are clearly marked with a tool symbol.

series. A suspension fork is based either on a steel spring or air suspension. Unlike a rigid fork, a suspension fork has two functions which improve floor contact and comfort: suspension and damping. Figure 7: Bicycle without suspension (1) and with suspension (2) when riding over an obstacle The suspension prevents an impact, such as one caused by a stone lying in the bike's path, from being channelled directly into the rider's body via the fork. The impact is absorbed by the suspension system instead. This causes the suspension fork to compress. The compression can be disabled so that a suspension fork reacts like a rigid fork. The switch to disable the fork is called a remote lockout. After compressing, the suspension fork returns to its original position. If there is a damper, it decelerates movement, preventing the suspension system from springing back in an uncontrolled manner and stopping the fork from vibrating up and down. 1 2

movements, i.e. a compression load, are called compression dampers or compression dashpots. Dampers which dampen rebound deflection movements, i.e. a rebound load, are called rebound dampers or dashpots. 3.3.3 Suspension fork structure Figure 8: Example showing Suntour fork: The stem and handlebars are fastened to the fork shaft (1).

3 Handlebars with brake levers 4 Front wheel brake disc 5 Rear wheel brake disc On a bicycle with a disc brake, the brake disc is screwed permanently to the hub of the wheel. The brake lever is pulled to increase brake pressure. The brake fluid is used to transfer pressure through the brake lines to the cylinders in the brake calliper. The braking force is boosted by a speed reduction and applied to the brake linings. These apply the brake disc mechanically. If the brake lever is pulled, the brake linings are pressed against the brake disc, and the movement of the wheel is decelerated until it comes to a stop. 3.4.3 Back-pedal brake Alternative Figure 12: Brake system with a back-pedal brake, example 1 Rear wheel rim brake 2 Handlebars with brake levers 5 2 3 4 1

5 Transportation, storage and assembly 5.1 Transportation  Take into account the ready-to-use bicycle's weight when transporting it.  Remove accessories, for example drinking bottles, before transportation of the bicycle. Oil leak if no transport securing device The brake securing device prevents the brakes from being applied accidentally during transport. This could cause irreparable damage to the brake system or an oil leak, which will harm the environment.  Never pull the brake lever when the wheel has been dismounted.  Always use the transport securing system when transporting dismounted wheels. If the bicycle is lying flat, oil and grease may leak from the bicycle. If the shipping box with a bicycle is lying flat or on one end, it does not provide the frame and the wheels with adequate protection from damage.  Only transport the bicycle in an upright position. Bicycle rack systems which secure the bicycle standing on its head by the handlebars or frame, generate inadmissible forces on the components during transportation. This can cause the supporting parts to break.  Never use bicycle rack systems which secure the bicycle standing on its head by the handlebars or frame. CAUTION ! NOTICE NOTICE

 When transporting by car, you must use a suitable bicycle rack system.  Transport the bicycle in a dry, clean place where it is protected from direct sunlight. 5.1.1 Using the transport securing system  Insert the transport securing devices between the brake linings.  The transport securing device is squeezed between the two linings. Figure 14: Fastening the transport securing device The specialist dealer will advise you on how to select a suitable rack system properly and how to use it safely. When shipping the bicycle, we recommend that you have the bicycle partially dismantled in the proper manner and packaged by the specialist dealer.

5.2 Storing  If the bicycle features a hydraulic seat post, fix only the lower seat post or the frame into a fitting stand to prevent damage to the upper seat post and the seat post lever.  Never place a bicycle with a hydraulic seat post upside down on the floor; otherwise you, will damage the seat post lever.  Store the bicycle in a dry and clean place. Risk of fire and explosion due to high temperatures Excessively high temperatures will damage batteries. Batteries may self-ignite and explode.  Protect batteries against heat  Never expose batteries to sustained direct sunlight. If the bicycle is lying flat, oil and grease may leak from the bicycle. If the shipping box with a bicycle is lying flat or on one end, it does not provide the frame and the wheels with adequate protection from damage.  Only store the bicycle in an upright position.

5.3.3 Scope of delivery The bicycle was completely assembled in the factory for test purposes and then dismantled for transportation. The bicycle is 95–98% pre-assembled. The scope of delivery includes: • the pre-assembled bicycle • the front wheel • the pedals and • quick release (optional). 5.3.4 Commissioning Since initial commissioning of the bicycle requires special tools and specialist knowledge, only trained specialist staff may perform initial commissioning. Experience has shown that a bicycle which has not yet been sold, is spontaneously handed to consumers as soon as it appears ready to ride.  For this reason, every vehicle must be prepared, so that it is fully ready for use immediately after being assembled.  Staff should work through the initial commissioning check list to prepare the vehicle, so that it is ready to ride.

Initial commissioning check list  Mount the wheels, quick release and pedals.  Re-adjust the quick release clamping force if necessary.  Thoroughly degrease the brake discs in disc brakes or the brake sides and linings in rim brakes with brake cleaner or spirit.  Place handlebars, stem and saddle in the functional position and check they are firmly in place.  Check all the components to make sure that they are firmly in place. Check all the settings and the tightening torque on the axle nuts.  Check the entire cable harness to make sure that it is routed properly: • You must prevent the cable harness from coming into contact with moving parts. • The cable routes must be smooth and free from sharp edges. • Moving parts must not apply any pressure or tension to the cable harness.  Check the light system fittings and the brakes to ensure they function properly and effectively.  Adjust the headlight.  Take a test ride to check the brake system and gear shift.

Check the quick release to ensure it is firmly in place and adjust on the flange if necessary.  The lever is secured. Figure 30: Closing the quick release

5.3.6.1 Checking the stem and handlebars Checking connections  Stand in front of the bicycle to check whether the handlebars, stem and fork shaft are firmly attached to one another. Clamp the front wheel between your legs. Grasp the handlebar grips. Try to twist the handlebars towards the front wheel.  The stem must not move or twist. Firm hold  Place your entire body weight on the handlebars with the quick release lever closed to check that the stem is firmly in place.  The handlebars shaft must not move downwards in the fork shaft.  If the handlebars shaft should move in the fork shaft, increase the quick release lever tensioning. To do so, turn the knurled nut slightly in a clockwise direction with the quick release lever open.  Close the lever and check the stem is firmly in position.

Checking the headset backlash  To check the handlebar headset backlash, close the quick release lever on the stem. Place the fingers of one hand on the upper headset cup, pull the front wheel brake with the other hand and try to push the bicycle backwards and forwards.  The headset cup halves must not move towards one another while you are doing this. Note that there may be noticeable backlash due to worn-out bearing bushes or brake lining backlash in suspension forks and disc brakes.  If there is headset backlash in the steering headset, you must adjust it as soon as possible; otherwise, the headset will become damaged. You must make the adjustment as described in the stem manual. 5.3.7 Sale of the bicycle  Fill out the data sheet on the first page of the operating instructions.  Adjust the bicycle to the rider.  Set the stand and the shifter, and show the purchaser the settings.  Instruct the operator or rider how to use all the functions of the bicycle.

6 Before the first ride Only a correctly adjusted bicycle will guarantee you the desired ride comfort and health-promoting activity. Therefore adjust the saddle, the handlebars and the suspension to your body and your preferred riding style before the first ride. 6.1 Adjusting the saddle 6.1.1 Adjusting the saddle tilt The saddle tilt must be adjusted to the seat height, the saddle and handlebar position, and the saddle shape to ensure an optimum fit. The seating position can be optimised in this way if needed. First, readjust the saddle after finding the handlebar position you prefer.  Place the saddle tilt in the horizontal position to adjust the bicycle to your needs for the first time. Figure 31: Horizontal saddle tilt Crash caused by incorrectly adjusted torques If a screw is fastened too tightly, it may break. If a screw is not fastened enough, it may loosen. This will result in a crash and injuries.  Always observe the indicated torques on the screw or in the operating instructions. ! CAUTION

6.1.2 Determining the seat height  To determine the seat height safely, either push the bicycle near to a wall, so that you can lean on the wall to support yourself or ask another person to hold the bicycle for you.  Climb onto the bicycle.  Place your heel on the pedal and extend your leg, so that the pedal is at the lowest crank rotation point.  The rider sits straight on the saddle if the seat is at an optimum height. If this is not the case, you can adjust the length of the seat post to your needs. Figure 32: Optimal saddle height

6.1.3 Adjusting the seat height with quick release  Open the quick release on the seat post to change the seat height. To do so, pull the clamping lever away from the seat post. Figure 33: Seat post quick release (3) with clamping lever (5) and setting bolt (4) in the open position (1) and in the direction of the closed position (2)  Set the seat post at the required height. 3 4 5 1 2 3 Crash caused by an excessively high seat post setting A seat post with is set too high will cause the seat post or the frame to break. This will result in a crash and injuries.  Do not pull the seat post out of the frame beyond the minimum insertion depth marking. ! CAUTION

Figure 34: Detailed view of the seat post – examples of the minimum insertion depth marking  To close it, push the seat post clamping lever as far as it will go into the seat post.  Check the clamping force of the quick releases. 6.1.4 Setting the height-adjustable seat post  When using your seat post for the first time, you must give it a firm push downwards to set it in motion. This is due to the natural tendency of the seal to repel oil from the seal surface. You only need to do this before the first use or after a longer period of non-use. Once you have displaced the post through its deflection, the oil spreads on the seal and the post begins to function normally. Figure 35: The seat post activation lever can be mounted either on the left (1) or the right (2) side of the handlebars 3 4 2 1 . ert wer e Position zur Best ber in einem späteren chmals montieren. ie den mitgelieferten Winkel mit der in rrichtung und stecken Sie die Hülle in die vorrichtung. er Remotehebel 5 Oder 28 1 2

6.1.4.1 Lowering the saddle  To lower the saddle, press your hand down on the saddle or sit on the saddle.  Press the seat post activation lever and hold it down.  Release the lever once you have reached the required height. 6.1.4.2 Raising the saddle  Pull the seat post activation level.  Remove any pressure on the saddle and release the lever once you have reached the required height. 6.1.5 Adjusting the seat position The saddle can be shifted on the saddle frame. The right horizontal position ensures an optimal leverage position for legs. This prevents knee pain and painful incorrect pelvis positions. If you have displaced the saddle more than 10 mm, you then need to adjust the saddle height again since both settings affect one another.  To adjust the seat position safely, either push the bicycle near to a wall, so that you can lean on the wall to support yourself or ask another person to hold the bicycle for you.  Climb onto the bicycle.  Place the pedals into the vertical position (3 o'clock position) with your feet.  The rider is sitting in the optimal sitting position if the knee cap perpendicular line runs through the pedal axle. If the perpendicular line crosses behind the pedal, bring the saddle forward. If the perpendicular line crosses in front of the pedal,

bring the saddle back. Move the saddle within its permitted displacement range only (marked on the saddle stay). Figure 36: Knee cap perpendicular line 6.2 Adjusting the handlebars 90°  The handlebars must only be adjusted while the bicycle is stationary.  Unfasten and adjust the designated screw connections, and clamp them with the maximum tightening torque for the clamping screws of the handlebars.

Adjusting the stem 6.2.1 Adjusting the height of the handlebars  Open the clamping lever.  Pull the locking lever on the stem up, and simultaneously pivot the handlebars into the desired position.  You feel the locking lever click into place.  Pull out the handlebars to the required height.  Lock the quick release. Crash caused by loose stem Incorrectly fastened screws may come loose due to impact. The stem may no longer be firmly fixed in its position as a result. This will result in a crash and injuries.  Check the handlebars and the quick release system are firmly in position after the first two hours of riding. Crash caused by incorrectly set clamping force Excessively high clamping force will damage the quick release and cause it to lose its function. Insufficient clamping force will cause a detrimental transmission of force. This can cause components to break. This will result in a crash and injuries.  Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g. hammer or pliers).  Only use the clamping lever with the specified set clamping force. CAUTION ! ! CAUTION

Insufficient clamping force will cause a detrimental transmission of force. This will result in a crash and injuries.  Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g. hammer or pliers).  Only use the clamping lever with the specified set clamping force. ! CAUTION

Figure 38: Pulling locking lever upwards; by.schulz speedlifter used as an example 6.2.2.1 Checking the clamping force of the quick releases  Open and close the quick releases on the stem or the seat post.  The clamping force is sufficient if the clamping lever can be moved easily from the open final position into the middle and has to be pressed with the fingers or base of the thumb from the middle point onwards. 6.2.2.2 Adjusting the quick release clamping force  If the clamping lever on the handlebars cannot be moved into its final position, screw out the knurled nut.  Tighten the knurled nut on the seat post if the clamping lever's clamping force is not sufficient. If you are unable to set the clamping force, the specialist dealer will need to check the quick release.

6.3 Adjusting the brake lever 6.3.1 Adjusting the pressure point on a Magura brake lever The pressure point setting is adjusted using the twist knob.  Turn the twist knob towards the plus (+) symbol.  The brake lever moves closer to the handlebar grip. Re-adjust the grip distance as necessary.  The lever pressure point activates sooner. Figure 39: Using the twist knob (1) to adjust the pressure point Brake failure due to incorrect setting If the pressure point is set with brakes where the brake lining and brake disc have reached their wear limit, the brakes may fail and cause an accident with injury.  Before you set the pressure point, ensure that the brake lining and brake disc have not reached their wear limit. WARNING ! 1

6.3.2 Adjusting the grip distance Figure 40: Brake lever grip distance Crash caused by incorrectly set grip distance If brake cylinders are set incorrectly or installed wrongly, the braking power may be lost at any time. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.  Once the grip distance has been set, check the position of the brake cylinder and adjust it as necessary.  Never correct the brake cylinder position without special tools. Have a specialist dealer correct it. The brake lever grip distance can be adjusted to ensure that it can be reached more easily. Contact your specialist dealer if the brake handle is too far from the handlebars or is hard to use. ! WARNING

6.3.2.1 Adjusting the grip distance on a Magura brake lever Alternative Use a T25 TORX® wrench to turn the setting screw to adjust the grip distance.  Turn the setting screw in the minus (–) direction.  The brake lever moves closer to the handlebar grip.  Turn the setting screw in the plus (+) direction.  The brake lever moves away from the handlebar grip. Figure 41: Using the setting screw (2) to adjust the distance from the brake lever to the handlebar grip (1) 1 2

6.4 Adjusting the suspension The adjustment shown here represents a basic setting. The rider should change the basic setting to suit the surface and his/her preferences.  It is advisable to make a note of the basic setting. This way, it can be used as the starting point for subsequent, optimised settings and to safeguard against unintentional changes. Crash caused by incorrectly set suspension If the suspension is adjusted incorrectly, the fork may become damaged, so that problems may occur when steering. This will result in a crash and injuries.  Never ride the bicycle without air in the air suspension fork.  Never use the bicycle without adjusting the suspension fork to the rider's weight.  Settings on the chassis change riding performance significantly. You need to get used to the bicycle and break it in to prevent accidents. CAUTION ! NOTICE

6.4.1 Adjusting the negative deflection Negative deflection is compression caused by the rider's weight, including equipment (such as a backpack), sitting position and frame geometry. Each rider has a different weight and sitting position. Negative deflection depends on the rider's position and weight and should be between 15% and 30% of the maximum fork deflection, depending on the bicycle usage and preferences. 6.4.1.1 Adjusting the steel suspension fork negative deflection Alternative You can adjust the fork by tensioning the spring to the rider's weight and their preferred riding style. It is not the coil spring hardness which is adjusted; it is its pre- tensioning. This reduces the fork's negative deflection when the rider sits on the bicycle. Figure 42: Negative deflection setting wheel on the suspension fork crown

 Only adjust the negative deflection when the bicycle is stationary.  The setting wheel may be located under a plastic cover on the suspension fork crown. Remove the plastic cover by pulling it off upwards.  Turn the negative deflection setting wheel in a clockwise direction to increase the spring pre- tensioning. Turn the negative deflection setting wheel in an anti-clockwise direction to reduce it.  The ideal setting in relation to the weight of the rider has been achieved when the shock absorber deflects 3 mm under the stationary load of the rider.  If applicable, re-attach the plastic cover after setting the suspension fork. 6.4.1.2 Adjusting the air suspension fork negative deflection Alternative The air chamber valve can be used to adjust the fork suspension to the rider's weight and driving style. Riding without filling pressure will destroy the wheel suspension, the frame and the air suspension elements.  Never ride without filling pressure in the air suspension elements. A normal air pump cannot build up the required pressure with sufficient sensitivity.  Use a special damper pump to adjust the filling pressure. NOTICE NOTICE

Adjusting the tyre pressure  The tyre pressure determines the force required to press the fork together. If the tyre pressure is reduced, the fork slackens more and rebounds less. Figure 43: Screw caps in different designs  Only adjust the tyre pressure when the bicycle is stationary.  The air valve is located under a screw cap on the head of the left shock absorber. Unscrew and remove the screw cap.  Adjust the air pressure as an initial value using a high-pressure damper pump and based on the tyre pressure table on the fork and the rider's weight. 6.5 Retracting brake linings New brake linings take time to break in and adjust to their final braking force.  Accelerate bicycle to about 25 km/h.  Brake bicycle until it comes to a halt.  Repeat process 30–50 times.  The brake linings and brake discs are now retracted and provide optimal braking power.

between 5 °C and 35 °C. The effectiveness of the drive system is restricted outside of this temperature range. Crash caused by loose clothing Laces, scarves and other loose items may become entangled in the spokes on the wheels and the chain drive. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.  Wear sturdy footwear and close-fitting clothing. Crash caused by soiling Heavy soiling can impair the functions of the bicycle, for example, the function of the brakes. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.  Remove coarse soiling before riding. Crash caused by poor road conditions Loose objects, such as branches and twigs, may become caught in the wheels and cause a crash with injuries.  Be aware of the road conditions.  Ride slowly and brake in good time. Heat or direct sunlight can cause the tyre pressure to increase above the permitted maximum pressure. This can destroy the tyres.  Never park the bicycle in the sun.  On hot days, regularly check the tyre pressure and adjust it as necessary. CAUTION ! CAUTION ! CAUTION ! NOTICE Operation temperature 5 °C–35 °C

individual bicycle functions due to the open structural design.  Always keep the bicycle dry and free from frost. Off-road riding subjects the joints in the arms to severe strain. Take a break from riding every 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the condition of the roads.  If the bicycle is to be used at temperatures below 3 °C, the specialist dealer must carry out an inspection and prepare the bicycle for winter usage first.

Crash caused by difficult-to-spot damage If the bicycle topples over or you have a fall or an accident, there may be difficult-to-spot damage to components such as the brake system, quick releases or frame. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.  Take the bicycle out of service and have a specialist dealer carry out an inspection. Crash caused by material fatigue Intensive use can cause material fatigue. A component may suddenly fail in case of material fatigue. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.  Remove the bicycle from service immediately in case of any signs of material fatigue. Have the specialist dealer check the state.  Have the specialist dealer carry out a basic inspection regularly. During the inspection, the specialist dealer inspects the bicycle for any signs of material fatigue on the frame, fork, suspension element mountings (if there are any) and components made of composite materials. Carbon becomes brittle when exposed to heat radiation such as heating. This can cause the carbon part to break and result in a crash with injuries.  Never expose carbon parts to strong heat sources. CAUTION ! ! CAUTION

 Check the bicycle before each ride.  Do not use the bicycle if there are any anomalies.  Check that the bicycle is complete.  Check that the lighting, reflector and brake, for instance, are sufficiently clean.  You must check that the mudguards, the pannier rack and the chain guard are securely installed.  Check that the front and rear wheels run true. This is particularly important if the bicycle has been transported or secured with a lock.  Check the valves and the tyre pressure. Adjust as necessary before each ride.  If the bicycle has a hydraulic rim brake, check whether the locking levers are fully closed in their final positions.  Check the front and rear wheel brakes to make sure that they are working properly. To do so, operate the brake levers while stationary in order to check whether resistance is generated in the usual brake lever position. The brake must not lose any brake fluid.  Check that the driving light is working.  Check for unusual noises, vibrations, smells, staining, deformation, cracks, scores, abrasion and wear. This indicates material fatigue.  Inspect suspension system for cracks, dents, bumps, parts or leaking oil. Look at concealed sections on the bicycle's lower surfaces.  Use body weight to compress suspension system. Adjust to the optimum "SAG" value if suspension is too soft.  If quick releases are used check them to make sure that they are fully closed in their end position. If quick release axle systems are used, make sure that all attachment screws are tightened to the correct torque.  Be alert to any unusual operating sensations when braking, pedalling or steering.

Raising the kickstand  Before the ride, raise the kickstand completely with your foot. Parking the bicycle  Before parking, lower the kickstand completely with your foot.  Park the bicycle carefully and check that it is stable. Crash caused by a lowered kickstand The kickstand does not fold up automatically. There is a risk of crashing if riding with the kickstand lowered.  Raise the kickstand completely before the ride. The heavy weight of the bicycle may cause the kickstand to sink into soft ground and the bicycle may topple and crash over.  The bicycle must be parked on firm, level ground only.  It is particularly important to check that the bicycle is stable if it is equipped with accessories or loaded with luggage. CAUTION ! NOTICE

Crash caused by loaded pannier rack The riding performance of the bicycle changes with a loaded pannier rack, in particular when steering and braking. This can lead to a loss of control. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.  You should practice how to use a loaded pannier rack safely and reliably before using the bicycle in public spaces. Crash caused by unsecured luggage Loose or unsecured objects on the pannier rack, e.g. belts, may become caught in the rear wheel. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself. Objects which are fastened to the pannier rack may cover the bicycle's reflectors and the driving light. The bicycle may be overseen on public roads. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.  Secure any objects which are attached to the pannier rack sufficiently.  Objects fastened to the pannier rack must never cover the reflectors, the headlight or the rear light. Crushing the fingers in the spring flap The spring flap on the pannier rack operates with a high clamping force. There is a risk of crushing the fingers.  Never allow the spring flap to snap shut in an uncontrolled manner.  Be careful where you position your fingers when closing the spring flap. CAUTION !

First aid treatment  Wear gloves and safety goggles as protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.  Remove those affected from the danger area to fresh air. Never leave those affected unattended.  Ensure sufficient ventilation.  Immediately remove clothing items contaminated with hydraulic fluid.  Serious slip hazard due to hydraulic fluid leakage.  Keep away from naked flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.  Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  Do not inhale vapours or aerosols. After inhalation  Take in fresh air; consult doctor if any pain or discomfort. After skin contact  Wash affected skin with soap and water and rinse well. Remove contaminated clothing. Consult doctor if any pain or discomfort. DANGER !

 Rinse eyes under flowing water for at least ten minutes with the lids open; also rinse under lids. Consult eye doctor if pain or discomfort continues. After ingestion  Rinse out mouth with water Never induce vomiting! Risk of aspiration!  Place a person lying on their back who is vomiting in a stable recovery position on their side. Seek medical advice immediately. Environmental protection measures  Never allow hydraulic fluid to flow into the sewage system, surface water or groundwater.  Notify the relevant authorities if fluid penetrates the ground or pollutes water bodies or the sewage system. Amputation due to rotating brake disc The brake disc in disc brakes is so sharp that it can cause serious injuries to fingers if they are inserted into the disc brake openings.  Always keep fingers well away from the rotating brake disc. ! WARNING

Oil or lubricant on the brake disc in a disc brake or on the rim of a rim brake can cause the brake to fail completely. This may cause a crash with serious injuries as a consequence.  Never allow oil or lubricant to come into contact with the brake disc or brake linings or on the rim of a rim brake.  If the brake linings have come into contact with oil or lubricant, contact a dealer or a workshop to have the components cleaned or replaced. If the brakes are applied continuously for a long time (e.g. while riding downhill for a long time), the fluid in the brake system may heat up. This may create a vapour bubble. This will cause air bubbles or any water contained in the brake system to expand. This may suddenly make the lever travel wider. This may cause a crash with serious injuries.  Release the brake regularly when riding downhill for a longer period of time. Crash caused by wet conditions The tyres may slip on wet roads. In wet conditions you must also expect a longer braking distance. The braking sensation differs from the usual sensation. This can cause loss of control or a crash, which may result in injuries.  Ride slowly and brake in good time. WARNING ! ! CAUTION

Handling the brake improperly can lead to loss of control or crashes, which may result in injuries.  Shift your body weight back and down as far as possible.  Practise braking and emergency braking before the bicycle is used in public spaces.  Never use the bicycle if you can feel no resistance when pulling on the brake handle. Consult a specialist dealer. Crash after cleaning or storage The brake system is not designed for use on a bicycle which is placed on its side or turned upside down. The brake may not function correctly as a result. This can cause a crash, which may result in injuries.  If the bicycle is placed on its side or turned upside down, apply the brake a couple of times before setting off to ensure that it functions normally.  Never use the bicycle if it no longer brakes as normal. Consult a specialist dealer. Burns caused by heated brake The brakes may become very hot during operation. There is a risk of burns or fire in case of contact.  Never touch the components of the brake directly after the ride. CAUTION ! CAUTION ! ! CAUTION

as soon as the rider no longer pedals. The drive system does not switch off when braking.  In order to achieve optimum braking results, do not pedal while braking. 7.6.1 Using the brake lever Figure 45: Front (2) and rear (1) brake lever; Shimano brake used as an example  Pull the left brake lever for the front wheel brake and the right lever for the rear wheel brake until the desired speed is reached. 7.6.2 Using the back-pedal brake Alternative  The best braking effect is achieved if the pedals are in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position when braking. To bridge the free travel between the riding movement and the braking movement, it is recommendable to pedal a little beyond the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock position before you pedal in the opposite direction to the direction of travel and start braking.  Pedal in the opposite direction to the direction of travel until the desired speed has been reached. 1 2

7.7.1 Adjusting the compression of the Suntour fork Alternative The compression adjuster makes it possible to make quick adjustments to the suspension behaviour of the fork to suit changes in terrain. It is intended for adjustments made during the ride. Figure 46: Suntour compression adjuster with the OPEN (1) and LOCK (2) positions  Compression damping is lowest in the OPEN position, making the fork feel softer. Use the LOCK position if you want the fork to feel stiffer and you are riding on soft ground. The lever positions between the OPEN and LOCK positions enable fine adjustment of compression damping. We recommend setting the lever of the compression adjuster to the OPEN position first. 1 2

The following servicing measures must be performed regularly. Servicing can be performed by the operator and rider. In case of any doubt, consult the specialist dealer. 8.1.1 After each ride 8.1.1.1 Cleaning the suspension fork  Remove dirt and deposits on the stanchions and deflector seals with a damp cloth.  Check the stanchions for dents, scratches, staining or leaking oil.  Check the air pressure.  Lubricate the dust seals and stanchions. 8.1.1.2 Cleaning the rear frame damper  Remove dirt and deposits from the damper body with a damp cloth.  Check rear frame damper for dents, scratches, staining or leaking oil. 8.1.1.3 Cleaning the pedals  Clean with a brush and soapy water after riding through dirt or rain.  Service the pedals after cleaning.

Crash caused by brake failure The braking effect may be unusually poor temporarily after cleaning, servicing or repairing the bicycle. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.  Never apply care products or oil to the brake discs or brake linings, or the braking surfaces on the rims.  After cleaning, servicing or repair, carry out a few test brake applications. Water may enter into the inside of the bearings if you use a steam jet. This dilutes the lubricant inside, the friction increases and, as a result, the bearings are permanently damaged in the long term.  Never clean the bicycle with a steam jet. Greased parts, such as the seat post, the handlebars or the stem, may no longer be safely and reliably clamped.  Never apply grease or oil to clamping sections. CAUTION ! NOTICE NOTICE

 Soak dirt stains on the frame with dish-washing detergent if the dirt is thick and ingrained.  After leaving it to soak for a time, remove the dirt and mud with a sponge, brush and toothbrush.  Use a watering can or your hand to rinse the frame to finish off.  Service the frame after cleaning. 8.1.2.2 Cleaning the stem  Clean stem with a cloth and washing water.  Service the stem after cleaning. 8.1.2.3 Cleaning the rear frame damper  Clean rear frame damper with a cloth and washing water. 8.1.2.4 Cleaning the wheel  Check the tyres, rims, spokes and spoke nipples for any damage when cleaning the wheel.  Use a sponge and a brush to clean the hub and spokes from the inside to the outside.  Clean the rim with a sponge. Crash caused by braking hard on rims A rim can break and block the wheel if you brake hard. It may cause a crash with serious injuries.  Check rim wear on a regular basis. ! WARNING

 Spray the cassette, the chain wheels and the front derailleur with a degreasing agent.  Clean coarse dirt with a brush after soaking for a short time.  Wash down all parts with dish-washing detergent and a toothbrush.  Service the drive elements after cleaning. 8.1.2.6 Cleaning the chain  Slightly dampen a brush with dish-washing liquid. Brush both sides of the chain.  Dampen a cloth with dish-washing liquid. Place the cloth on the chain.  Hold with slight pressure while slowly turning the rear wheel, so the chain passes through the cloth.  If the chain is still dirty afterwards, clean it with WD40.  Service the chain after cleaning.  Never use aggressive (acid-based) cleaners, rust removers or degreasers when cleaning the chain.  Do not use chain cleaning devices or chain cleaning baths. NOTICE

 Clean brake and brake discs with a brush, water and dish-washing detergent.  Clean brake discs thoroughly with brake cleaner or spirit. 8.1.3 Servicing 8.1.3.1 Servicing the frame  Dry frame after cleaning  Spray with care oil Clean off the care oil again after a short time. 8.1.3.2 Servicing the stem  Apply silicone or Teflon oil to the stem shaft tube and the quick release lever pivot point.  If you have speedlifter Twist, also apply oil to the unlocking bolt using the groove in the speedlifter body.  Apply a little acid-free lubricant grease between the stem quick release lever and the sliding piece to reduce the quick release lever operating force. Brake failure due to water penetration The brake seals are unable to withstand high pressures. Damaged brakes can fail and cause an accident with injury.  Never clean the bicycle with a high-pressure water device or compressed air.  Take great care when using a hosepipe. Never point the water jet directly at the seal section. ! WARNING

least every six months. This is the only way to ensure that the bicycle remains safe and fully functional. Crash and falling caused by unintentional activation There is a risk of injury if the drive system is activated unintentionally.  Remove the battery before inspection. Crash caused by material fatigue If the service life of a component has expired, the component may suddenly fail. This may cause you to fall from the bicycle and injure yourself.  Have the specialist dealer carry out six-monthly basic cleaning of the bicycle, preferably at the same time as the required servicing work.  The specialist dealer will inspect the bicycle for any signs of material fatigue during basic cleaning.  The specialist dealer will check the software version of the drive system and update it. The electrical connections are checked, cleaned and preservative agent is applied. The electrical cables are inspected for damage.  The specialist dealer will dismantle and clean the entire suspension fork interior and exterior. They will clean and lubricate the dust seals and slide bushings, check the torques and adjust the fork to the rider's preferred position. They will also replace the sliding collar if the clearance is too great (more than 1 mm on the fork bridge). CAUTION ! ! CAUTION

and exterior of the rear frame damper, overhaul the rear frame damper, replace all air seals of air forks, overhaul the air suspension, change the oil and replace the dust wipers.  The further servicing measures correspond to those which are recommended for a bicycle as per EN 4210. Particular attention is paid to the rim and brake wear. The spokes are re-tightened in accordance with the findings.

8.3.1 Use original parts and lubricants only The individual parts of the bicycle have been selected carefully and to matched to each other. Only original parts and lubricants must be used for maintenance and repair. The constantly updated lists of approved accessories and parts are available to specialist dealers. Crash and falling caused by unintentional activation There is a risk of injury if the drive system is activated unintentionally.  Remove the battery before inspection. ! CAUTION

Crash caused by unfastened quick release A faulty or incorrectly installed quick release may become caught in the brake disc and block the wheel. This will cause a crash.  Install the front wheel quick release lever on the opposite side to the brake disc. Crash caused by faulty or incorrectly installed quick release The brake disc becomes very hot during operation. Parts of the quick release may become damaged as a result. The quick release comes loose. This will result in a crash and injuries.  The front wheel quick release lever and the brake disc must be situated on opposite sides. Crash caused by incorrectly set clamping force Excessively high clamping force will damage the quick release and cause it to lose its function. Insufficient clamping force will cause a detrimental transmission of force. The suspension fork or the frame may break. This will result in a crash and injuries.  Never fasten a quick release using a tool (e.g. hammer or pliers).  Only use the clamping lever with the specified set clamping force. CAUTION ! CAUTION ! ! CAUTION

 Check the position and clamping force of the quick release lever. The quick release lever must be flush with the lower housing. You must be able to see a slight impression on the palm of your hand when you close the quick release lever. Figure 47: Adjusting the quick release clamping force  Use a 4 mm hexagon socket spanner to adjust the clamping lever clamping force if required. Afterwards, check the quick release lever position and clamping force. Figure 48: Adjusting the quick release clamping force
