AFTER THE RIDE
CLEANING THE BIKE
DANGER
RISK OF ACCIDENT DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE OR REDUCTION OF BRAKING FORCE DUE TO DIRTY BRAKE PADS OR BRAKE ROTORS!
Brake pads and brake rotors must not come into contact with lubricating substances such as oil, grease (including skin grease), wax, silicone, Teflon etc.! Brake pads or brake surfaces soiled in this way must no longer
be used!
After riding, you should clean your bike thoroughly with a soft cleaning cloth and clean water. Never use a high-pressure cleaner! Stubborn dirt can be removed with special cleaning agents for bicycles and
their components. Be sure to follow the instructions and application recommendations of the respective cleaning agent. After having cleaned your bike, you must lubricate the chain (see „Maintaining the
chain" on page 32).
Pay particular attention to cleanliness in the area of the moving parts of the fork and the shock. Dirt in this area can cause premature wear and thus reduce the performance of your suspension elements.
MAINTAINING THE CHAIN
The bicycle chain is the central element in the drive system of your bike. Dirt collects on the oily chain and accelerates wear.
For a long and reliable service life, perform the following steps regularly:
1.
Clean the chain with an oil-soaked cloth.
2.
Oil the chain with chain oil.
3.
Wipe off excess oil with a dry, lint-free cloth.
