nut.
2. If the cable is too loose, turn the adjustment screw on the brake lever clockwise - into the thread.
Now release the screw that secures the cable on the brake arm. Stretch the cable, so that brake pads
are aligned with the rim. Firmly tighten the screw and check the brakes.
IMPORTANT WARNING
Pay attention when braking on wet surface - braking distance of your bike is longer! Prior to each ride check,
if the braking system of your bike is in a perfect condition.
FRONT AND REAR WHEEL
Prior each ride check if the wheel is securely fastened by quick release lever i.e. quick release lever must be in
position „CLOSE". Quick release lever enables fast toolless wheel disassemble and assemble. Before ride
check if wheel is centred in the fork. Tighten quick release nut so much that lever will put up resistance
when closing. When quick release system is closed to the secured position it must push closer both fork
ends. Move quick release lever only to the sides to reach its position OPEN or CLOSE. Never turn closed quick
release system it could be damaged!
If wheels are secured by end nuts they must be checked before each ride to be sure that wheels are
secured correctly.
Torque tightening values:
M10 nut of hub axle 30 - 40 Nm
Check the wheel hubs periodically mainly after ride in wet and muddy conditions. The hub axle should
rotate without any friction and loose. If it does not, even after axle's cones and safety nut adjustment,
it is necessary to disassemble the hub, clean bearing rings and balls, lubricate them with a new grease,
assemble and set the hub again. If you are not skilled enough to do this kind of maintenance we advise
you to contact a special bike service.
RIMS
Check before each ride if wheels are centred correctly and rims are not damaged. There could appear
grooves and cracks by using bicycle or they could be caused by blast. Side areas of rim are getting
worn up by braking. There is security system on each rim side which indicates deformation on side of
rim. Bent side area of rim is mark of wear which causes self-acting braking. Riding on bicycle with such
damaged rims is dangerous and damaged rim must be replaced!

TIRES
Never ride on over or under inflated tires. Respect recommended pressures, which are shown on sides
of each tire.
Calculation of pressure measurement units mentioned on tires: 100kPa = 14.22 P.S.I. = 1 bar = 1 at
In case of puncture replace always damaged tube by new one with the same parameters like the old
one. Parameters are marked on each tube or on sides of tire.
FRAME AND FORK
Check regulary if the frame and fork of your bike are not damaged. Damage of the frame or fork is
mainly caused by accidents and falls. Stop using such damaged frame or fork, otherwise you risk serious
injury!
SUSPENSION FORK
If bicycle is equipped with suspension fork respect following instructions:
SUSPENSION SETUP
Fork compression setup unit is placed in upper part of right fork leg. Turn compression setup unit
clockwise to set up higher rigidity of fork, by turning it counter clockwise the rigidity of fork decreases.
FORK MAINTENANCE
CLEANING / LUBRICATION - regular maintenance is crucial for proper fork operation, mainly maintenance
of friction areas between outer and inner fork legs. Dust seal and gasket which keep friction areas from
contamination must be not damaged and must protect whole perimeter of friction area. Keep clean
inner leg's sliding area, after each ride clean dust or moisture by soft cloth and lubricate. Use detergent
solution and soft brush for outer fork cleaning. When cleaning take extra care to prevent water reach
gap between inner and outer fork legs. Never use high pressure cleaning devices. Moisture and dirt
inside fork have negative impact on fork operation, dirt inside fork cause higher friction between
bushings and inner fork's legs which may lead to fork components lifespan shortening.
Keep following instructions to retain perfect fork operation:
• After each ride clean up inner fork legs, dust seals and gaskets of inner fork legs from dirt like dust,
moisture or mud.
• After each 25 hours of operation (or after each ride in extreme conditions like mud or wet sand):
1. Lubricate dust seals and gaskets by oil with Teflon.
2. Check all fork screws if they are tight enough.
