Operation Manual

GHOST-BIKES

7.8.6 Checking the back-pedal brake

1. Ride at walking pace.

2. Pedal “backwards” against the driving direction.

3. The rear wheel must be sharply braked.

7.9 Inspecting the drive and chain

1. Turn the right-hand pedal arm in an anti-clockwise direction and observe the chainwheels and the

sprocket assembly from above. On bikes with a backpedal brake, ask someone to lift the back of the

bike and turn the right hand crank in the drive direction.

• The chainwheels and sprockets must not have any lateral runout.

• There must not be any foreign matter in any of the components. Remove any such foreign matter if it

is easy to do so.

2. Press the left-hand pedal arm towards the chain run in the position shown.

• You should not feel any bearing play.

• No cracking or grinding noises should be heard.

3. Inspect the chain for damage. The chain must not be damaged at any point, e.g. by bent chain links,

protruding chain link pins, etc. or jammed and immobile chain links.

4. With the bike at standstill, turn the right-hand pedal lever contrary to the drive direction and observe

the chain run at the derailleur rollers of the rear derailleur. The chain must run smoothly over the derail-

leur rollers and must not “jump”. (This test does not apply to bike with backpedal brakes)

7.10 Inspecting the lighting system

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

Failure of the headlight and rear light can lead to dangerous riding situations in the dark or with poor

visibility. You might fail to see obstacles or be overlooked yourself by other road users.

• You should use your bike in such visibility conditions only with the lights switched on and fully

functioning.

1. Turn your lights on. See user information for your lights or ask your dealer.
