off the chainring.
Risk of accident and injury!
• If the coaster brakes are ineffective, brake carefully
using the brake lever for the front wheel and, if
available, with the brake lever for the rear wheel.
Bikes with an internal gear hub or without any gear shift system
are often fitted with a back-pedalling brake. This is integrated in
the hub of the bike’s rear wheel and is operated using the pedals.
If you can turn the pedal drive backwards freely then your bicycle
is not equipped with a coaster brake.
5.5.1 Basic information
When the
coaster brake
is operated, a metallic ring inside the
rear wheel hub is pressed against the
outer hub shell, causing
the wheel to slow down. Due to the bicycle’s construction design,
wear and tear only occurs after a long period of use.
Make sure to regularly check that the coaster brake functions
properly.

Gear shift system
7 Gear shift system
A bicycle’s gear shift system comprises a shiftable gearing
mechanism and the corresponding operating elements. This
system allows the power generated by the rider to be better
adapted to the riding speed and route conditions.
Depending on the bicycle model, your bike will be fitted with an
automatic, hub-based, chain or hybrid gear shifting system.
• Find out which gear shift system your bicycle is fitted with
(see Chapter “Bicycle passport” on page 93).
• Read all chapters relating to your gear shift system.
• If you own an e-bike, you should also read the separate user
manual for your e-bike.
With regular care and maintenance and an average amount of use,
the gear shift system will only suffer minimal amounts of wear and
tear. The gear cables can become stretched through use.
In order to avoid premature wear and tear:
• Pedal slowly and without applying force when changing gears.
• Shift down the gears in a timely fashion before ascents and
choose a low gear.
1. Check to ensure that all components of the gear shift system
are free of damage.
• If you notice damage to the components, consult your
specialist dealer.
2. Check for damage to the casing of the gear shift cables or
torn laments (visual check).
3. Hang your bicycle from its frame.
4. Turn the pedal crank.
5. Shift through all the gears.
6. Check to see if all gears shift into place correctly and that no
unusual sounds can be heard when doing so.
7. Check to see whether the gear shift cable catches anywhere
when shifting and whether any scratching sounds are
produced.
• If you hear unusual sounds or if the gears do not shift
correctly, ask your specialist dealer to inspect the gear
shift system.

Gear shift system
7.1 Derailleur gears
7.1.1 Basic information
The derailleur gears consist of 1 to 3 chainrings on the pedal crank
and 7 to 11 sprockets on the rear wheel (see Fig. “Derailleur gears”).
The chain can be shifted to different chainrings and sprockets
using separate control units on the left and right side of the
handlebars.
• Pedal slowly and without applying force when changing gears.
Fig.: Derailleur gears
1 Gear shift cable
2 Sprockets on the rear wheel

3
The theoretical number of gears is derived from the product of
the sum “chainrings × sprockets”.
The smaller the sprocket, the higher the selected gear.
In a higher gear you will have a lower pedal frequency.
The larger the sprocket, the lower the selected gear. In a low
gear you will have a higher pedal frequency.
Note: The chain rings are not selected as gears, but are selected
depending on the road.
The smaller the chainring, the higher the pedalling frequency.
The larger the chainring, the lower the pedalling frequency.
• Use the small chain ring for ascents.
• Use the large chainring for sport riding.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the operating parts for the
derailleur gears.
• On bikes with derailleur gears, you should clean all moving
components with a damp cloth or a soft brush, insofar as
they are easily accessible (see Fig. “Rear derailleur”).
• After cleaning, you should lubricate all moving parts of the
derailleur gears system with a small amount of lubricant,
e.g. universal oil.
• Afterwards, wipe up any excess lubricant with a clean cloth.
• Check to ensure that all components of the derailleur gears
are free from damage and that the rear derailleur is not bent
sideways.
• If you notice damage to any of the components or the
rear derailleur is bent to the side, you should ask your
specialist dealer to inspect the derailleur gears.
• Check that there is sufficient clearance between the rear
derailleur or chain and the wheel spokes.

• If there is no clearance or if the chain is grinding against
the spokes, you should ask your specialist dealer to
inspect the derailleur gears.
Fig.: Distance between the rear derailleur and spokes
7.1.1.1  Gear combinations
NOTICE
The use of incorrect gear combinations can damage the
gear shift system.
Risk of damage!
• Do not combine the small chainring with the smallest
rear sprocket or the large chainring with the largest
rear sprocket.
Incorrect gear combinations cause the chain to skew, leading to
increased wear to chain rings, sprockets and the chain.
Only certain chainring combinations or gears are deemed
appropriate for correct usage of the bicycle (see Fig.
“Appropriate
gear combinations”).

The term ‘drive’ refers to a mechanism that generates a movement
in order to move an object.
In the case of a bicycle, muscle power is transferred to the drive
wheel via the pedals.
Depending on the bicycle model, your bike will be fitted with a chain
or belt drive system.
• Check whether your bike is fitted with a chain or belt drive system
(see Fig. “Chain drive system” and Fig. “Belt drive system”).

9.8 Suspension
Suspension systems on bicycles increase comfort and safety
when riding over uneven surfaces. The suspension system must
be adjusted to suit the weight of the rider. This requires specialist
expertise and may also involve replacing the suspension system
completely.
If you do not have the necessary expertise or correct tools to adjust
the suspension, you should ask your specialist dealer to adjust the
suspension system for you.
WARNING
Depending on the road conditions, incorrectly
adjusted
suspension can lead to a loss of
traction with the ground.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Ask your specialist dealer to set up the suspension
system for you.
• Ask your specialist dealer to explain how to operate
and adjust the suspension system.
WARNING
The suspension seat post, suspension fork and the rear
frame suspension are under pressure/tension.
Risk of injury!
• Only your specialist dealer should be permitted to
disassemble and repair your suspension seat post,
suspension fork and rear frame suspension.
NOTICE
Impact noises occur if suspension is set up incorrectly.
Risk of damage!
• If you feel hard shocks or can hear noises when
the suspension compresses, you should get your
suspension checked by your specialist dealer.
77
Other components
9.8.1 Suspension fork
9.8.1.1 Basic information
Depending on the model, your bicycle may include a suspension
fork
.
• Check to see if your bicycle is fitted with a suspension fork
(see Fig. “Suspension fork”).
Suspension forks absorb shocks from the front wheel and increase
comfort and safety when riding over uneven surfaces.
The suspension fork must be adjusted to suit the intended use
and the rider’s weight.
• Remove dirt from sliding surfaces and adjacent seals
immediately with a clean or lightly oiled cloth, as appropriate.
• Lubricate the sliding surfaces immediately after cleaning with
some lubricant, e.g. universal oil.
• Consult your specialist dealer for information about suitable
maintenance and lubrication products for the suspension fork.
• Compress the suspension fork in and out five times.
Afterwards, wipe up any excess lubricant with a clean cloth.
• If you hear unusual sounds when compressing and
decompressing the fork or if the suspension fork gives
way without any resistance, get your specialist dealer to
check your suspension fork.
Fig.: Suspension fork
1 Immersion tube 2 Stand tube

9.8.1.2 Sag
Sag refers to the compression which takes place simply as a
result of the rider’s bodyweight. Depending on the model of the
suspension fork, the sag is set at a value of between 15% and
30% of the total suspension travel.
The sag setting does not affect the spring stiffness. The sag
setting affects the spring pre-load. If the sag is optimally adjusted,
the suspension will compress by just a few millimetres when you
sit on the bicycle.
Expert knowledge is required to adjust the sag setting, especially
when the bicycle features several different suspension elements.
Note: To ensure optimally adjusted sag, your specialist dealer
may install stiffer or softer springs in the suspension.
78
Other components
9.8.1.3 Lock-out
The “lock-out” function blocks the suspension fork. This can
reduce the build-up of vibrations and dipping of the suspension
fork, e.g. if the suspension dips down when pedalling with
greater force.
9.8.1.4 Rebound and compression damping
The settings of the rebound and compression damping affects
the cushioning effect, or responsiveness, of the suspension
system. The key factor here is the ratio between the rebound and
compression damping. Many models are therefore only fitted with
one setting for rebound damping. The ratio between the rebound
and compression damping is determined by the road conditions.
A correctly adjust ratio ensures optimum contact between the
wheels and the ground.
9.8.1.5 Operation
The operation of the suspension fork depends on your suspension
fork type.
• If your suspension fork is fitted with other controls or additional
controls than those listed below, you should ask your specialist
dealer to explain how to operate the suspension fork or read
the manufacturer’s documentation.
NOTICE
Increased wear and tear caused by using the lock-out.
Risk of damage!
• Only use the lock-out function if this improves the
quality of the ride.

Wheels and tyres
10 Wheels and tyres
10.1 Wheels
10.1.1 Basic information
The wheel is made up of a hub, spokes and a rim. The tyre is fitted
in the rim of the wheel. Depending on the bicycle model, an inner
tube is fitted inside the tyre. The front wheel and its tyre together
are referred to as the front wheel; the rear wheel and its tyre are
referred to as the rear wheel.
– If an inner tube is included, rim tape is also fitted around the
inside of the rim to protect the tube from the rim base and the
spoke nipples.
– If the tyre does not have an inner tube, road bikes are fitted
with so-called tubular tyres or mountain bikes are fitted with
UST tyres (Universal System for Tubeless).

The wheels are exposed to considerable stresses and strains due
to the weight of the rider and their luggage as well as the conditions
of the road.
• After an initial riding period (at the latest after cycling 300 km,
using the bike for over 15 hours or after 3 months – depending
on which milestone is achieved first), you should get your
specialist dealer to check the wheels and re-centre them.
• You should check your wheels regularly following the initial
riding period.
83
Wheels and tyres
• If you do not have the necessary expertise and the required
tools, you should ask your specialist dealer to inspect your
wheels and re-centre them if necessary.
10.1.1.1 Rims and spokes
WARNING
Risk of falling due to blocked rim brakes or wobbling wheels
caused by the rims becoming laterally out of true.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Only use wheels that run true.
• Ask your specialist dealer to tighten any loose spokes.
• Get your specialist dealer to true any untrue wheels.
It is essential that all spokes are evenly tensioned in order for the
wheel to run properly true. The tension of individual spokes can
change if obstacles such as kerb edges are ridden over too quickly
or if a spoke nipple becomes loose. The true running of the wheel
and the stability of the rim are reduced if individual spokes are no
longer under tension or damaged.
10.1.1.2 Wear limit
Depending on the bicycle model, indentations are imprinted in the
rims to indicate the wear limit. The wear limit has been reached
when the indentation is no longer perceptible.
Fig.: Rim (example)

10.1.2 Settings
10.1.2.1 Checking and adjusting the spokes
• Press the spokes together with your thumbs and finger and
check that the tension is equal on all spokes.
• If the tension varies or if spokes are loose, ask your
specialist dealer to tauten the spokes.
Alternatively, you can stroke a wooden or plastic baton over the
spokes and listen for differences in sound.
84
Wheels and tyres
10.1.2.2  Checking the wear limit or replacing the
rims
1. Check whether the rims of your bicycle have indentations to
indicate the wear limit (see Fig. “Rims”).
2. If the rims of your bicycle do have indentations, check to see
if the wear limit has been reached.
3. Stroke a finger nail or a toothpick over the indentation in a
vertical direction.
• Do not use the bicycle if you cannot feel the indentation.
• Ask your specialist dealer to replace the wheel rims.
10.2 Tyres and valves
10.2.1 Basic information
CAUTION
Poor visibility to other road users.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Make sure that all reflectors are clean and clearly visible.
CAUTION
Burst tyres caused by penetrating foreign bodies.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage and wear.
• If you do not have the necessary expertise and the
required tools, you should ask your specialist dealer to
replace damaged or worn tyres.
NOTICE
Damage caused by fitting differently sized tyres than
those originally intended for use.
Risk of damage!
• Consult your specialist dealer if you have any questions
about the correct tyre size.
The tyres serve to give the bicycle grip on the road surface, to
transfer the driving force to the road and to counterbalance
irregularities in the road surface. Different types of tyres are used
depending on the intended use of the bicycle.
The size of the tyre is indicated on the side of the respective tyre.
Various different details may be included here, for example:
– ETRTO data, which is given in millimetres. If the tyre is described
as ‘52-559’, this means that the tyre is 52 mm wide when fully
inflated and has an inner diameter of 559 mm. (ETRTO stands
for European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation).
85
Wheels and tyres
– Size in inches. If the tyre is described as ‘26 x 2.35’, this means
that the tyre is 2.35” wide when fully inflated and has an inner
diameter of 26”.
With the exception of tubular tyres and UST tyres, rims and tyres
alone are not airtight. An inner tube filled through a valve is used
to keep the air inside the tyre.
1. Check the tyres for cracks and damage caused by foreign
bodies.
2. Check whether the profile of the tyres can be clearly felt.
• If a tyre shows signs of cracks, is damaged or the profile depth
is insufficient, have the tyre replaced by your specialist dealer.
10.2.1.1 Valve types
All bicycles are fitted with one of the following types of valve
(see Fig. “Valve types”):
– Standard bicycle valve (Dunlop): held in place with a lock nut,
8.5 mm rim hole, maximum pressure 6 bar.
– Schrader valve: held in place by a metal pin in the valve,
8.5 mm rim hole, maximum pressure 10 bar.
– Presta valve: held in place by a metal pin in the valve, 6.5 mm
rim hole, maximum pressure 15 bar.
All three types of valve include a valve cap to prevent dirt from
getting into the valve.
Note:
Depending on your valve type, you will require a suitable
air
pump and a suitable adaptor.

10.2.1.2 Tyre pressure
WARNING
Too much pressure can cause the inner tubes to burst or
to bulge out from the rim.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Observe the correct tyre pressure.
• When pumping up your tyres, you should use a pump
with a pressure gauge.
86
Wheels and tyres
NOTICE
Damage to the inner tube caused by too little pressure.
Risk of damage!
• Do not ride over sharp edges if the tyre pressure is too
low.
• Observe the correct tyre pressure.
• When pumping up your tyres, you should use a pump
with a pressure gauge.
Observe the maximum tyre pressure, which is indicated by the
lower value printed on the rim or on the side of the tyre.
Tyre inflation pressure is indicated in psi (pound per square inch),
kPa or bar (see Table “Tyre pressure conversion”).
The lower limit of the tire inflation pressure is suitable for light riders,
for uneven ground and provides a higher suspension comfort
with a higher rolling resistance. The upper limit of the tire inflation
pressure is suitable for heavy riders, for level road surfaces and
provides a low rolling resistance with lower suspension comfort.
• You should always ride with tyres filled to the prescribed tyre
pressure.
• Check your tyre pressure regularly.
• Fill your tyres with air at least to the lower limit and at most,
to the maximum limit indicated for tyre inflation pressure.
• When pumping up your tyres, you should use a pump with
a pressure gauge.
