Checking The Wheels; Checking The Installation; Checking The Rims - Cube CARGO HYBRID 2020 Originalbetriebsanleitung

Before each journey, check that your
Î
Cargo Hybrid is safe to drive.
Contact your bicycle dealer immediately
Î
if you notice that the actual condition
of the Cargo Hybrid deviates from the
target condition.
Only use your Cargo Hybrid again when
Î
it has been properly repaired by your
bicycle dealer.
Perform a visual inspection of the entire
1.
Cargo Hybrid.
In the process, check the following:
• all fixing screws for a correct screw
connection.
• the entire Cargo Hybrid for notches, chip-
ping, deep scratches and other mechanical
damage.
• whether loose parts have become caught
somewhere on the Cargo Hybrid, e.g.
branches, fabric remnants.
• whether the reflective strips on the tyres
are clean and clearly visible. Tyres without
reflective strips must be fitted with clearly
visible, clean reflectors.
If necessary, remove loose parts (e.g. branches)
2.
and check whether, for example, your wheels
have been damaged by the loose parts.
3. Fix screw connections that have loosened, if
these are screw connections that you are
allowed to tighten yourself (see chapter
3.5.1 „Which screw connections may you tighten
yourself?").
4. If necessary, clean the reflective strips on the
tyres or clean and attach spoke reflectors.
If the reflective strips are no longer visible or
it is not possible for you to securely reattach
the spoke reflectors, consult your bicycle
dealer immediately.
Always make sure that the reflective
strips on the tyre or alternatively spoke
reflectors in accordance with StVZO on
your Cargo Hybrid are present, securely
fastened and not covered or dirty.
Contact your specialist bicycle dealer if the
5.
visual inspection reveals defects of any kind
which you cannot remedy as described here.

Checking the wheels

Front and rear wheels are also called
wheels.
Your Cargo Hybrid has two wheels: one front and
one rear wheel.
Each wheel consists of the following:
• Hub
• Brake disc
• Spokes
• Rim
• Rim strip
• and tyres.
If your Cargo Hybrid is equipped with a derailleur
system, the sprocket or sprocket set is also
located on the rear wheel hub.

6.2.1 Checking the installation

1. Vigorously shake both wheels at right angles
to the direction of travel:
The wheels must not move in the clamping.
No cracking or crunching noises must be
audible.
The axle nuts must be tightly screwed and
the screw axle must be tightened with the
printed torque (see chapter 3.5.2 „Torques
and screw connections").
2. Contact your bicycle dealer if the inspection
reveals defects.

6.2.2 Checking the rims

1. Check the rims for wear.
Contact your bicycle dealer to find out how
to check the wear on rims without a wear
indicator.
2. Check the rims for wobbling:
To do so, lift up your Cargo Hybrid and
turn the front and rear wheels respectively.
Pay attention to the distance between the
frame strut or fork sheath.
The maximum permissible deviation per
revolution is 2 mm.
