6. Bike transport and storage
6.1 Transport by car
The best and safest way to transport your bike is inside a car. This way, your bike is perfectly protected from the elements
and from theft. But here too, all parts should be padded and protected against damage. When removing the wheels, make
sure to fit a protective spacer between the dropouts of the frame or fork and between the brake pads of the disc brake.
6.2 Transport on a hitch or roof rack
Rims must be padded before fitting lashing straps or ratchet systems.
When transporting several bikes on a hitch or roof rack, please make sure that there is sufficient space or padding
between the bikes.
Please also note the instructions of the bike rack manufacturer.
6.3 Bike storage
You should park your bike using an appropriate cycle stand which ideally only holds the rear wheel. Make sure to check
the tyre pressure if the bike has been standing for a long time. You should not park your bike for longer periods of time
with no air in the tyres.
Another alternative for the secure storage of your bike is to hang it onto a hook that is padded or covered with plastic or
rubber.
If you use a tubeless system, you should remove the sealant from the tyre when parking your bike longer than three
months. Some sealants contain ingredients that increase corrosion and could thus damage the rim.
6.4 Bike shipping
Depending on the size of the ROSE bike box, the bike is shipped in different conditions. Ship your bike in the same
condition you've received it.
1. Fasten all loose or movable parts or wrap them sufficiently. Sharp or pointed components should be wrapped
additionally to make sure they won't damage other parts of your bike and won't tear through the outer packaging.
2. If your bike was delivered with a removed front wheel, the front wheel should also be removed for shipping. Wrap the
front wheel with cardboard, which will also protect the handlebar and top tube of your bike.
3. If the wheels need to be removed, you must thread thru axles into the dropouts.
4. Position the cardboard box at the rear on the drive side.
5. Protect the top tube from damages through the handlebar by using appropriate material (e.g. foam tubing).
