2.1

General safety

DANGER
Risk of injury due to insufficient protective equipment!
Effective, protective cycling equipment helps increase your personal safety.
• Always wear a helmet.
• When riding over dirt or pump tracks, you are well advised to wear additional protective gear such as knee
pads, shin guards and elbow pads as well as gloves and back protectors.
DANGER
Risk of accident due to insufficient equipment for use on public roads!
The ROSE THE BRUCE is not intended for use on public roads. If you nevertheless want to ride your bike on
public roads, you will have to consult a qualified bicycle mechanic to retrofit all components required according
to the national road traffic regulations (lighting system, reflectors etc.).
DANGER
Risk of accident due to improperly installed components!
Improperly installed components may loosen while riding!
• Always follow the installation instructions included in this manual.
• If in doubt consult the ROSE service or a qualified bicycle mechanic.
DANGER
Risk of accident due to reduced braking performance caused by brake pads that are not broken in!
Disc brakes can only achieve full braking power when the brake pads are broken in. Choose a place off public
roads to break in the pads.
• Brake 20 to 30 times with the front or rear brake from a speed of 30 km/h down to 5 km/h. You should brake
as hard as possible without locking one of the wheels.
• Please also note the instructions of the brake manufacturer (see enclosed manual).
DANGER
Risk of accident due to sudden total failure of pre-damaged components!
Bicycles are subject to high stress. A fall or unforeseeable manoeuvres cause unpredictable peak loads. These
loads can pre-damage components of your bike. Even though you might not immediately notice those damages,
it is always possible that pre-damaged components deform or break while riding.
• Regularly check your components for damages.
• Components that are subject to high stress must be regularly replaced and checked by a qualified bicycle
mechanic.
2.2

The rider's duty of care

Following the instructions specified in this manual does not absolve the riders from their duty of care to ensure that
their bike is always in good condition. If there are any questions consult a qualified bicycle mechanic or the ROSE
Service.
