// USER MANUAL
• Use of the product with a seat post pulled out beyond the minimum insertion depth
• Overstress caused by jumps, falls or other types of stress
• Bent or torn derailleur hangers (fixing point of the rear derailleur) are subject to the effects of e.g. placing the rear derailleur on a stone or similar and therefore do not constitute a case of guarantee.
Compensation for damages or reimbursement of transport or installation costs are excluded. Furthermore, we do not bear any additional costs due to an interim model change. We reserve the right to repair
the product or replace it with a successor product. In the event of a necessary replacement of the product, we will replace it in the same colour according to availability, but reserve the right to replace it in a
different colour if it is not available.
4.2 CRASH REPLACEMENT
Our PROPAIN Crash Replacement (PCR) takes effect where a normal guarantee ends: In case of damage due to crashes. During such crashes large forces can act on the bike, destroying parts or the whole
bike and making it unridable. That is why we have introduced our PCR program. It allows the first owner to purchase a new bike at low cost.
The prices and conditions of the crash replacement can be found at www.propain-bikes.com
5. GETTING STARTED FOR YOUR FIRST RIDE AND GETTING USED TO YOUR NEW BIKE
Make yourself familiar with the handling, brakes, shifting system and with the suspension elements of your bike away from public roads. Do not forget to wear a helmet! Only slowly increase the difficulty of
the terrain or manoeuvres. Requirements:
• The bike is assembled according to the assembly instructions.
• The saddle height is properly adjusted to guarantee a comfortable ride and to ensure you will get on and off the bike easily.
• All tasks from chart "Before your ride" (see „6. Before and after your ride") have been carried out.

DISC BRAKES:

1. Break in the brake pads.
Choose a road away from public roads and brake 20 to 30 times with the front or rear brake from a speed of 30 km/h down to 5 km/h. You should brake as hard as possible without locking one of the
wheels. Repeat the process for the other brake. Only then the brake can show its full braking power.
Please see the brake manufacturer' s instructions for more information (see also „8.2 Further Information").
2. Check the functioning of the brakes while riding.
Normally, the rear brake is located on the right-hand side of the handlebar, and the front brake is on the left-hand side. However, if required, the brake levers can also be mounted the other way
around.
If the positioning of the brake levers on your bike is new and unfamiliar, you will have to be careful on your first rides. Make yourself familiar with the functioning and power of the brakes while
riding at reduced speed.
Many brakes offer the possibility to adjust bite point and lever reach. Please see the brake manufacturer' s instructions for more information (see also „8.2 Further Information").
CLIPLESS PEDALS:
3. Start practicing getting in and out of the pedals with one foot on the ground or when leaned against a wall. Only practice clipping in and out while riding after you have safely mastered the procedure
while standing. The release tension of the engagement system is adjustable. Please see the pedal manufacturer' s instructions for more information.
SHIFTING SYSTEM:
4. Shift through all gears while riding at reduced speed and choose the right gear.
→ You can shift into all gears.
→ In the highest and lowest gear, the limit screws don't allow the chain to drop off the cassette.
