WHEELS
RIMS
• When using a V-brake rim brake, the rim sides must always be free of dirt, oils and
grease, since the brake performance will otherwise reduce, or the brake may even lose all
effect.
Danger of accident!
DANGER
• Replace worn rims without delay, since the rim may otherwise break under load. Dan-
ger of damage and accidents!
WARNING
Use of a V-brake rim brake will cause the rim to wear over
time. Therefore, there is a groove or a dot on the side clamp of
the rim as a wear indicator (fig. AS). If you can no longer see it,
wear has progressed and the rim must be replaced at once.
SPOKES
• Loosened spokes must be tightened at once at all times and damaged or torn spokes
must be replaced without delay. Danger of damage and accidents!
• Have maintenance and repair work regarding the spokes (e.g. tightening the spokes,
replacing them or centring the wheel) only performed by a specialist using suitable
DANGER
tools. Only this can ensure proper function.
Danger of damage and accidents!
WARNING
Spokes connect the rim to the hub. Even tension of the spokes ensures concentricity and
stability of the wheel.
The spokes may settle over time and retensioning and centring may become necessary.
