Bike transport and storage

7.1

Transport by car

The best and safest way to transport your bike is by car. Here, your bike is perfectly protected from the elements and from
theft. Yet there are some things you should bear in mind:
• When removing the wheels, make sure to fit a protective spacer between the dropouts of frame or fork.
• When transporting a bike with Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14, make sure the rear wheel is transported in an upright
position. If transported while on its side, the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 may leak oil out of the seals. If it is not possible
to transport it upright, ensure that any oil leaking out does not cause damage by using appropriate packaging or placing
something underneath the bike.
7.2

Transport on a hitch or roof rack

Rims must be padded before fitting lashing straps or ratchet systems.
When transporting several bikes on one hitch or roof rack, please make sure that there is sufficient space or padding
between the bikes.
Child seats must be removed before transport.
Please also note the instructions of the bike rack manufacturer.
7.3

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 when the bike has stood for a long time. You should not park your bike for longer 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. Only bikes with deep-section rims made from carbon must not be stored in this way.
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.
