stretch the cable.

the brake unit or the brake lever. The brake lever play is the distance between the
initial position of the brake lever and the position at which a braking effect is felt
when pulling the lever.

Frame
The shape of the frame depends on the
type and function of the bicycle.
Frames are manufactured from a variety
of materials, such as steel or aluminium
alloys or carbon.
Never ride with a bent or cracked frame.
Never attempt to repair damaged parts. This can lead to accidents. Replace defective
parts before using the bicycle again.
Following an accident or a fall, have your bicycle checked by a dealer before using it
again. Undetected defects on the frame or other permanent parts may lead to acci-
dents.
Avoid jumps and riding over high kerbs. These can lead to frame damage and thus to
serious accidents.
The frame number of the bicycle is located on the seat tube or on the bottom
bracket. The bicycle can be identified by the frame number in case of theft. In the case
of a carbon frame, the frame number may be located on the inner side of the dropouts.
If your bicycle does not travel in a straight line, have the tracking adjusted by a specia-
list cycle dealer.
