Tires
Due to their function, bike tires are subject to wear. This depends on how the bike is used and
the rider can influence this significantly.
Do not brake so sharply that the wheels lock.
Check the tire pressure regularly. The maximum permissible tire pressure, and normally also
the minimum permissible pressure, can be found on the tire wall.
If necessary, inflate the tire up to the specified value. This reduces wear.
Do not expose the tires to things that can damage them such as sunlight, petrol, oil, etc.
Rims in conjunction with rim brakes
Owing to the interaction of the rim brake with the rim, not only the brake pad but also the rim is
subject to function related wear. If fine cracks appear or the rim flanges deform when the tire
pressure increases, this indicates increased wear. Wear indicators on the rim allow its wear
condition to be easily identified.
Check the wear condition of the rim at regular intervals.
Brake pads
The brake pads on rim, roller, drum and disc brakes are subject to wear, the extent of which
depends on how the bike is used. If the bike is ridden in hilly regions, or use din a sporty
manner, the brake pads may need to be replaced more often.
Check the wear condition of the pads regularly and, if necessary, have them replaced by a
professional bike workshop.
Bike chains
The bike chain is subject to function-related wear the extent of which depends on
care/maintenance and how the bike is used (mileage, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).
