Your new road bike is now ready to ride and you should take it
out for a test run straight away. (Fig. 18)
Fig. 18
Important: Before heading out, check once again that all of the
screws and quick release ttings are tight on your bike.
Important: In your own interest, we would recommend that
you have your bike inspected after approx. 100 km. Bikes cannot
always be correctly adjusted without a certain period of runnin-
gin. Mechanical components, like brakes, gears and bearings
have to be checked and readjusted after a certain time.
An initial inspection by qualied technicians will guarantee that
your bike has a long life so that you can enjoy unlimited cycling
enjoyment.
Important: Keep a note of your frame number! The frame
number is generally located on the bottom bracket – the position
may vary with different manufacturers (seat pin, head tube). It
is easiest to note down your frame number on the invoice for
your bike.
Attention: Road bikes, which do not have lights, do not comply
with the requirements of § 67 of the German Road Trafc
Licensing Regulations (StVZO). Please be aware that these
sports bikes are not permitted to travel on public roads.
Attention: It is essential that you also read the manufacturers’
operating manuals to fully understand all the information and
technical features of your new bike.
