CAUTION Danger of burns

When riding - especially in the case of lengthy downhill rides and frequent braking - rims and

brake discs can become so hot that you may burn your skin.

• Do not touch the rims or brake discs immediately after riding your bike.

• Allow the rims and brake discs to cool down for at least 10 minutes before touching them.

• In order to check the temperature, lightly tap with your bare ﬁ nger very brieﬂ y on the braking

surface of the rim and brake disc. If after the above period it still feels hot, wait a few minutes and

repeat the test until the braking surface has completely cooled down.

NOTE:

There are a wide range of offers available for cycle training.

Training to ride a bike can help you increase your riding safety and improve your riding technique. Ask your

specialist bicycle dealer about offers near you.

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

Bicycle parts that are important for safety may be damaged as a result of a fall, accident or external

forces. This can lead to dangerous riding situations, falls, accidents and material damage.

• You should not use your bike again after a fall, accident or if it has been affected by external

forces.

• Contact your specialist bicycle dealer immediately after an accident or fall.

dealer.

The following bicycle parts must always be replaced after an impact on a hard surface:

• Handlebars

• Handlebar stem

• Crank

• Carbon saddle post

• Saddle with carbon frame

All other bicycle parts must be inspected by your dealer and replaced, if necessary.

If you have any questions after falls and accidents, you can also contact a bicycle specialist. In Germany you

can obtain corresponding contact addresses from your local Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK).
