NOTE:
Even after providing advice and carrying out the final assembly, your bike dealer is still very important to you. He or
she is your contact person for all types of servicing and maintenance, conversions and repairs. Please contact your
specialist bicycle dealer if you have any questions concerning your bike.
2.3 Use your bike for its intended purpose
If you do not use your bike in accordance with the designated purpose this may result in dangerous riding
situations, falls and accidents.
You should always use your bike as described in this user manual and any additional documentation that
you may have.
2.3.1 What work may you carry out yourself on your bike?
Faults caused by incorrectly performed work to your bike may damage the bike and impair its operational

you have the appropriate tools.

2.3.2 What must you bear in mind when retrofitting accessories and carrying out conversions?

lowing accessories can be retrofitted:

• For replacement or retrofitting purposes the only parts which may be used are those that have been
approved by GHOST for your bicycle model. Please consult your authorised GHOST specialist retailer on
this.

tation you have received from him.

your specialist bicycle dealer at a later time.

modification parts.
