11. Assembling components of the bike
Your bike is pre-assembled on delivery. The following components still have to be fitted (or have
them fitted) and must be adjusted and/or checked (or have them adjusted/checked).
- The handlebar has to be adjusted
- The saddle position and height has to be adjusted
- The pedals have to be screwed on
- The fine adjustment of the gear shift mechanism has to be checked and adjusted, if neces-
sary
- It is essential to check the function of the brakes
Check the quick release on the front wheel
Check the right tension of the quick release on the front wheel. The clamping lever of the quick re-
lease needs to mounted on the left hand side (few in driving direction) of your bicycle. After closing
the quick release, the clamping lever needs to point upwards (see following picture. Here, fiew
against driving direction).
The quick release on the axle of the front wheel must with a not in-
considerable effort let it close completely.
If the quick release is not fully closed or if it is too easy to close, the
axle is not properly clamped and represents a considerable safety risk!
