GHOST-BIKES

• The saddle tube must not be reamed out or otherwise mechanically machined.
• Saddle post and saddle tube must not be greased. Use only the carbon assembly paste supplied
with the bike.
• Saddle posts may only be assembled in a carbon frame using the carbon assembly paste supplied.
• The saddle clamp must not be closed when the saddle post is removed, as otherwise irreparable
damage to the saddle tube may result.
• Take the saddle post out of the frame approximately every two months, clean it and apply new car-
bon assembly paste. See section 13.2, Dismantling and installing saddle post with saddle.
5. Bottle holders:
• The thread sets are provided for the attachment of commercially available bottle holders. The maxi-
mum tightening torque of the screws for fastening the bottle holder to the frame is 4 Nm.
6. Roller training:
• The use of roller trainers with rigid clamping is not permitted. The rigid clamping of the fork ends or
quick-release axle exerts loads that differ signifi cantly from those occurring during the permitted use
for riding. This can result in damage to the bike frame.
• Use on a loose roller without rigid clamping of the frame is permitted.
7. Transport: See section 13, Transporting the Bike.
4.7 Tyres
GHOST bikes have different tyres as standard. The tyre brand, type, size and air pressure information can
be found printed on the tyre walls.
As far as the valve types are concerned, we mainly use inner tubes with Sclaverand valve (SV), which is col-
loquially known as the “French valve”. The models of the POWERKID range may include inner tubes with a
Sclaverand valve (SV) and an automatic valve (AV). For the version, please refer to the following illustration.
If replacement inner tubes are used, it must be ensured that only inner tubes are used which contain the
same valves as the original inner tube, as the diameter of the SV and AV valves differ from one another.
