Bearings for full suspension frame and
sprung forks or other elements of the
suspension system
The components of the bike's suspension system,
bearings and elements of the suspension system,
are subject to much more pressure than other
bearings. This is why they experience a lot of wear.
Check these parts regularly and thoroughly.

offer advice about looking after and, if necessary,
replacing these sensitive components.
You should also check the websites of the relevant
component manufacturers to find out the most
important points about looking after parts that are
subject to wear.
Regular inspections
The spokes will align themselves over the first few
miles that you cycle, the brake and transmission
cables will stretch and the bearings will be broken
in. This is why an initial inspection should be
carried out by your approved O2Feel reseller after
around 200 kilometres or four to six weeks. This
inspection is also important when it comes to your
rights under the guarantee.
