ROAD
IMPORTANT WARNING
No check of crank arms fastening to the bottom bracket axle may result in progressive release of
crank arms and cause irreparable damage to the crank arm. Such damaged crank arms must be
replaced with new crank arms. Please contact special bike service for crank arms replacement.
Pedals must be firmly fastened in crank arms. Check tightness of pedal fastening regularly
otherwise pedals may release progressively and thread inside of crank arm will be damaged. Above
mentioned damages are not covered by warranty.
WARNING
Reduction of toe-clearance (gap between toe and front wheel) is possible due to replacement of
cranks or front wheel tyre. Toe can touch front wheel tyre when riding direction is changed suddenly.
This "touch" may cause downfall and serious injury.
PEDALS ASSEMBLY
Pedals are generally marked on the axle of each pedal by letters R - right pedal and L - left pedal.
1. First lubricate the thread on pedals with grease before assembly.
2. Screw the right pedal (R) into the thread of the right crank arm (arm with chainwheels) by turning
it to the right.
3. Screw the left pedal (L) into the thread of left crank arm by turning it to the left.
4. Tighten firmly with appropriate tool. Make sure that the shouldering of the pedal axis sits on the
crank arm.
NOTE
Pedals are not standardly supplied with this bicycle. Please read manual issued by pedal manufacturer
before pedals assembly and using.
WARNING
Clip-in pedals and pedals with toe clips or toe straps bond feet tightly with pedals which enables
higher pedalling efficiency. These pedals require usage of special cyclist shoes which are adapted to
clip-in mechanism.
Use of these pedals requires skills therefore it is recommended to train clipping-in and clipping-out in
safe place before first ride.
BOTTOM BRACKET PARTS
Both cups of bottom bracket parts must be firmly tightened in the frame. Check them
periodicaly, mainly after ride in wet and muddy conditions. B.b.parts must rotate without any
friction and loose if not we advise you to contact a special bike service.
HEADSET
Headset must be tightened properly. Check whether fork can turn easily in headset but without
allowance and if all stem screws are tightened securely before each ride. Follow these steps
when headset has allowance:

regularly (depending on your riding frequency) with appropriate greasing product. Certain skills are
required for proper disassembling, re-assembling and tightening of head parts to keep bearings
running smoothly therefore we recommend you to visit specialized service.
