Handling instructions
Danger! Never pump up your
tires beyond the maximum pressure. The
tire may burst while riding or come off the
rim, which may result in a serious fall and
injury.
Danger! Check your tires for
damage on a regular basis. You should ex-
change tires with worn threads or dam-
aged sidewalls. Damaged rim tapes have to
be exchanged immediately. Damages at the
tires may lead to a sudden burst of the tire
and thus result in a serious fall and injury.
After you have exchanged the tires please
check if the wheels turn freely and check the
minimum distance between mudguards and
frame.
