12 Cleaning and caring for your
bike
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
Corrosion can damage components of
your bike which are important for safety
so that they are no longer secure. These
components may then brake during ri-
ding and thus result in serious falls.
Corrosion is caused, amongst other
things, by
-
salt (e.g. due to salt spreading in winter)
-
salty air (e.g in coastal or industrial areas)
-
perspiration.
Danger of material damage!
Do not use steam washers. The high pres-
sure water jet can damage your bike.
Good maintenance will increase the life of your bike
and its components. Clean and maintain your bike
regularly.
For wet cleaning, use a gentle water jet or a bucket
of water and a sponge.
Only use clean fresh water or desalinated water.
There are many ways of washing a bike. A proven
cleaning recommendation for a very dirty bike is as
follows:
1. With a gentle water jet, remove large
items of debris such as soil, stones and
sand etc.
2. Let the bike dry o to a certain extent.
3. Spray your entire bike with a suitable
detergent.
With many detergents and if there is only
a low level of soiling, simply spraying and
rinsing o after the specied time for
them to work is sucient.
You can remove stubborn dirt after the
working time, for example, with a radia-
tor paintbrush before rinsing o.
Danger of material damage!
Cleaning, lubrication and preserving
agents are chemical products.
Incorrect use can damage your bike.
Only use products expressly suitable for
bikes.
Ensure that these products do not attack
either paint, rubber, plastic or metal parts
etc. Consult your dealer.
Follow the respective manufacturer‘s inst-
ructions.
4. Rinse the entire bike with a gentle water
jet and allow it to dry.
5. Clean the chain.
Drip a suitable chain cleaner into a clean,
spirit-free cotton cloth and wipe the chain
down. When doing so, slowly operate the
crank against the direction of drive.
Repeat this process as often as possible with
a clean area of the cloth until the chain is
clean.
Drip a suitable chain cleaner into a clean,
spirit-free cotton cloth and wipe the chain
down.
If cleaner remains between the chain
links, the new grease will be immediately
broken down and will be totally ineec-
tive.
Sparingly apply a lubricant suitable for
bicycle chains to the chain links.
Danger of material damage!
Greases for motor cycle chains will gum
up your bike chain and the drive chain
components.
Only use lubricants expressly approved for
use with bike chains.
1. On carbon saddle post and/or saddle
stem
Apply assembly paste to the saddle post
and to the inside of the seat tube and only
use assembly paste for carbon parts for this
procedure.
Saddle post and seat tube must not be
greased. Only carbon assembly paste may
be used.
Saddle posts made of aluminium may only
be tted using a carbon assembly paste.
2. Push the saddle complete with saddle
post into the frame seat tube until the
desired saddle height is obtained. In this
position the lower end of the saddle post
must be a minimum of 10 cm below the
lower edge of the top tube.
Do not rely on the marking on the saddle
post.
To check the correct insertion distance:
hold a nger tip against the saddle post
when tted directly above the clamp.
Keep your nger tip in this position and
withdraw the saddle post from the seat
tube.
Hold the saddle post laterally beside the
seat tube so that your nger is again level
and directly above the clamp.
In this position the lower end of the
saddle post must be a minimum of 10 cm
below the lower edge of the top tube.
3. Turn the saddle so that the saddle points
in the direction of travel.
4. Ensure that the clamp is ush in the frame
and that the seat tube slots and the clamp
are covered.
5. Close the quick release as per Chapter 8.8
or tighten the Allen screw with a torque
wrench.
Please observe assembly instructions and
the specied torque in the accompanying
parts instructions indicated in table 3.3.
Risk of Personal Injury and
Material Damage!
An over-tightened carbon bre saddle
post can break when riding and lead to
dangerous riding situations, falling, acci-
dents and material damage.
The seat tube clamp must be tightened rm-
ly in order to prevent the saddle post from
lowering into the frame or laterally twisting
during the ride.
If the saddle post does not remain in the
desired position, even though you have
reached the maximum admissible tighte-
ning torque, please consult your specialist
dealer immediately.
Please observe assembly instructions and
the specied torque in the accompanying
parts instructions
