Before every ride
The pressure point is defined as the position of the lever stroke at which
the brake responds. If the brake works perfectly – i.e. there are no air
bubbles in the hydraulic line – the pressure point will be at the same lever
position for each braking process.

Checking the belt

• The Gates Carbon Drive is a maintenance-free, durable system. Just pay
attention to the following:
• Are there any foreign objects (e.g. twigs) between the pulley and belt?
→ Remove them.
• Is the belt heavily soiled? → Rinse it clean with water.
3.4. Batteries: checking the attachment
Check whether the batteries are firmly in place in the locks.
3.5.

Check suspension fork and damper

Check the suspension fork and rear shock before every ride for:
• Cracks and deformations / Oil leaks
→ If there are any cracks/deformations or oil leaks, please contact the
HNF-NICOLAI Service or visit a bicycle repair shop for diagnosis.
• Dirt on the stanchion tubes of the fork or the rear shock piston
→ If the stanchion tubes of the fork are dirty, wipe them clean with a rag.
3.6. Checking the screw fittings
Before each journey, check that front an rear axle are tightened securely and that
the following parts do not twist: Seat post, Handlebars, Stem.
Lift the vehicle and let it fall to the ground on the tyres. Check if you can see or hear
any loose parts. If necessary, check where the loose parts are and ensure they are
tightened to the correct tightening torque.
3.7. Checking the lighting
Check that the lighting is working before every ride. Make sure that the headlamp is
set so that it does not dazzle oncoming traffic.
