Bike transport and storage
5.1
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.
When removing the wheels, make sure to fit a transport lock between the dropouts of the frame or fork.
5.2
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.
Please also note the instructions of the bike rack manufacturer.
5.3
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.
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.
5.4
Bike shipping
Ship your bike in the same condition you've received it.
1. Secure or cover all loose or moving parts properly. Sharp or pointed components have to be wrapped
additionally to make sure they won't damage other parts of your bike and won't tear through the outer
packaging.
2. If your bike was delivered with a removed front wheel, the front wheel should also be removed for shipping
now. Wrap the front wheel with a cardboard. This will also protect the handlebar and top tube of your bike.
3. If the wheels need to be removed, you must thread the thru axles into the dropouts.
4. Protect the top tube from damages through the handlebar by using appropriate material (e.g. foam tubing).
