The car valve can be inflated with a suitable pump directly after removing

the protective cap.

With Presta valves you first have to undo the small knurled nut a little and de-

press it carefully until air starts to escape . Check the nut is tightened and

seated in its stem, otherwise air may slowly leak out. Tyres with car valves

can conveniently be inflated at car filling stations with a compressed air dis-

penser. The same applies to Presta valves fitted with a special adapter. A

compressed air dispenser must be used very carefully as you may otherwise

overinflate the tyre and make it burst. To let out air, press the needle in the

centre of the car valve or the knurled nut of the Presta valve using e.g. a

spanner/key. Hand pumps are often unsuitable for inflating tyres to high

pressures. A better choice is a foot-operated or a track pump equipped with

a pressure gauge .

Always ride your bicycle with the prescribed tyre pressure and

check the pressure at regular intervals, at least once a week.

Replace tyres with a worn tread or with brittle or frayed sides. Dampness

and dirt penetrating the tyre can cause damage to its inner structure. The

inner tube might burst. 

Observe the maximum pressure value of the rim. The pressure

is dependent on the tyre width! You will find the values in the

enclosed manuals of the rim manufacturers.

To obtain true running of the wheel, the tension exerted by the spokes has

to be distributed evenly around the rim . If the tension of a single spoke

changes, e.g. as a result of riding fast over a kerb or of a loose nipple, the

tensile forces acting on the rim become unbalanced and the wheel will no

longer run true.

The functioning of your bicycle may even be impaired before you notice the

wobbling appearance of a wheel that has gone out of true.

With rim brakes the sides of the rims also serve as braking surfaces. An un-

true wheel can impair your braking power. It is therefore advisable to check

the wheels for trueness from time to time. For this purpose lift the wheel off

the ground and spin it with your hand. Watch the gap between the rim and

the brake pads. If the gap varies by more than a millimetre, you should ask

an expert to true up the wheel .

Do not ride with untrue wheels. In the case of extreme side-to-

side wobbles, the brake pads of rim brakes can miss the rim and

get caught in the spokes! This normally instantly jams the wheel

and throws you off your bicycle.

Loose spokes must be tightened at once. Otherwise the load on

the other spokes and the rim will increase.

Truing (retruing) wheels is a difficult job which you should defi-

nitely leave to your bicycle dealer!

The wheels are attached to the frame at the hub axles. Each axle is clamped

tight in the drop-outs by means of a quick-release.

Quick-releases require no tools at all. Just release the lever , unscrew it a

few turns, if necessary, and take out the wheel (see chapter 

).

However, a thief will find this just as easy to do! As an anti-theft measure you

can replace the quick-releases by special locks. They can only be opened

and closed with a special, coded key or an Allen key .

Never ride a bicycle without having checked first whether the

wheels are securely fastened! A wheel that comes loose during

riding is very likely to cause an accident!

If your bicycle is equipped with quick-releases, be sure to lock

it to an immovable object together with the wheels when you

leave it outside.

There is a wide range of different thru axle systems currently available.

Some of them are fastened with quick-releases, whereas others require

special tools for assembly or disassembly.

Check the fastening after one to two hours of use and then every 20 hours

of use.

More and more mountain bikes are fitted with thru axle systems.

For more information read chapter “How to Use Quick-Releas-

es and Thru Axles”.

Always observe the enclosed instructions of the fork manufac-

turer.
