WARNING Risk of brake failure for rim brakes

The brake blocks may be twisted by coming into contact with the tyres during removal and installa-

tion.

• After installation of the wheels, make sure that the brake blocks are in the correct position (see

section 7.8.4, Checking the rim brake with cable (MTB version) and 7.8.5, Checking the rim brake

with cable (racing bike version)).

• If they are not in the correct position, contact an approved workshop immediately.

NOTE:

If your bike has disc brakes, please use the enclosed transport locking devices provided for transport after

removal of the wheel. Only remove these immediately before installing the wheels again.

• Hydraulically-operated brakes should not be operated under any circumstances if the wheels are removed.

The brake pistons might be pushed too far out.

Please proceed in the following order:

1. Dismantle the front wheel

2. Dismantle the rear wheel

3. Install the rear wheel

4. Install the front wheel

5. Check the tightness of the wheels as described in section 7.1.1, Checking the position and tight ﬁ t.

6. Check the function and installation of the breaks in accordance with section 7.8, Inspecting the brakes.

In many cases it is sufﬁ cient to remove only the front wheel for transport. In this case you do not have to

comply with the instructions for installing and removing the rear wheel.

13.1.1 Dismantling the front wheel

1. If your bike has a hub dynamo (see table in section 4.1, Types, categories, ranges) or has been retro-

ﬁ tted with a hub dynamo: release the plug connection between the dynamo and cabling.

2. Open your rim brake in accordance with section 13.1.5, Opening and closing the brakes.

3. Open the lever of your quick-release or thru axle according to section 8.6.1.1, Opening the quick-

release axle or 8.6.2.1, Opening the thru axle.

4. Pick up your bike with the handlebars and pull the front wheel out of the fork ends of the front-wheel

fork.

5. If your bike has a disc brake, insert the enclosed transport lock into the brake pistons.

6. Place your bike carefully on the ground with the fork ends.
