BEFORE AND AFTER YOUR RIDE
6.1
BEFORE YOUR RIDE
To make sure your bike is safe to ride, you should carry out certain tasks before your ride. If there are any defects or flaws, you should have your bike inspected and repaired by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
Never ride with a defective bike!
TASK/CHECK
Lift the wheels one after the other and spin them.
→ The wheels must spin smoothly.
→ The wheels must run true, without moving up and down or from side to side.
→ The tires must not rub against the frame.
Check the tire pressure.
→ The tire pressure should be about 2 bar. The maximum tire pressure of the wheel and of the tire used must not be exceeded (see also „8.4 Tire
pressure").
Check the tightening torque of the thru axles.
→ The lever of the thru axle of the front wheel must be closed firmly!
→ The thru axle of the rear wheel must be tightened to 12 Nm!
Lift the wheels one after the other and move the wheels to the side.
→ There must be no play.
Check the freehub mechanism of the rear hub to ensure proper engagement:
Sit down on your bike, pull the front brake and pedal with moderate force when standing.
→ The power must be transferred to the rear wheel.
→ The freehub must not slip.
Check the tires for damages and wear.
→ There must be no damages.
→ The tires must not be worn so that the puncture protection belt or the carcass threads can be seen through the tread.
TASK/CHECK
Check brake efficiency: Pull one brake lever after the other while standing and push the bike backwards and forwards.
→ The front and rear wheel must lock when the brake lever is pulled.
Check whether the brake hoses and connections are losing brake fluid and check them for defects.
→ Brake fluid must not escape at the connections.
Check the bite point of the brakes: Pull one brake lever after the other while standing.
Before your first ride Before each ride
→ The bite point must be felt around half way down the brake lever travel.
Check the brake pads for wear.

Verify the tight fit of the stem: Stand in front of the bike with the front wheel between your knees and try to turn the handlebar left and right.
→ It should not be possible to turn the handlebar with normal force.
Check the headset for play: Stand next to your bike, pull the front brake lever and gently push the bike backwards and forwards.

→ No bearing play must be detectable.
Make sure that all components are tight.

→ Tighten loose parts to the proper torque (see „8.3 Torques"). In case of doubt, contact the PROPAIN service.
Verify the tight fit of the seat post: Stand behind your bike, hold the saddle with one hand and try to turn it left and right.
→ It should not be possible to turn the saddle or seat post.
