7.2 TRANSPORT ON THE CAR REAR OR ROOF RACK
Rear and roof racks with retaining claws for the top, bottom or seat tube are not suitable for carbon frames. The clamping force of the retaining claw can damage the carbon structure. Rims must be padded
before lashing straps or ratchet systems are attached. If several bicycles are transported on the rear or roof rack, care must be taken to ensure adequate spacing or sufficient padding between the bicycles.
When transporting bicycles with carbon wheels on the rear carrier, make sure there is sufficient distance between the exhaust and the wheel. The minimum distance is 45 cm behind the exhaust and at least
20 cm above it. Please also refer to the operating instructions of the rear or roof rack manufacturer.
7.3 BIKE STORAGE
The bicycle should be parked in a suitable bicycle stand, which ideally only holds the rear wheel. Make sure to check the tire
pressure when the bike has stood for a long time. You should not park your bike for longer with no air
in the tires. Another alternative for safe storage is to hang the bike on a padded, or
rubber covered hook. If you use a tubeless system, you should remove the sealant from
the tire when parking your bike longer than three months. Some sealing fluids contain
corrosion-intensifying ingredients and can thus damage the rim.
7.4 SHIPPING THE BIKE
Depending on the size of the PROPAIN bike box, the bike can be shipped in
assembly states. Ship the bike in the assembly condition as you received it.
1. Fix or adequately sheathe all loose or moving parts.
→ Sharp or pointed components must be additionally sheathed to prevent them
from causing damage inside the carton and from penetrating to the outside.
2. Remove the front wheel (Dreckspatz, Frechdax) for shipping and wrap the front wheel
in a cardboard box.
3. Put the quick release in the small parts box.
4. Place the filler box behind the rear wheel.
5. Protect the top tube from damage by the handlebar by using suitable material (e.g.
tube insulation).
