The brake pads and disc brakes are prone to wear and must be replaced according to the manufacturer's specifications.
As in the case of the brake pads, the brake discs are also prone to wear and must be inspected for signs of wear,
bending or any other anomaly before each trip.
In the event of wear, any anomalies or you are unsure, please contact an official BH dealer.
Do not pour oil, grease or aerosols on the discs or brakes, since these could contaminate the break pads
and make them less effective during braking. Contaminating the brake pads may cause fatal accidents.
Never use the bicycle if the brake pads have been contaminated.

The suspension absorbs uneven spots on the riding surface. There are two types of suspension: front and rear.
Both  must be lubricated at regular intervals and adjusted according to the cyclist's weight and the type of surface
on which the bicycle will be used.
Keep in mind that the suspension fork contracts slightly when the cyclist sits on the bicycle, so there is negative travel
(sag). This adjustment requires knowledge and use of specific tools. Please contact your nearest dealer to have your
suspension adjusted properly. Refer to the manufacturers' manuals to check the specific sag of each suspension.
There must be no strange noises or clicking sounds when moving the suspension while stopped and the movement
must be smooth. Please contact your nearest official BH dealer if you detect any anomaly. Refer to the specific
manuals of each bicycle to check the suspension assembly process.

All BH mountain bikes have been solely designed for use with the suspension fork mounted as standard
or a  similar one. Mounting double-plate forks or other forks of a different length is not allowed.
Failure to observe these requirements will void the warranty and may cause serious injuries or damage
to your BH bicycle.

Tyres are prone to wear and must be replaced when the maximum degree of wear indicated by the manufacturer
is reached. This is the point of contact between the bicycle and the ground, so it is essential to mount tyres according
to the surfaces on which the bicycle will be used.
Another key point for the safety of the cyclist is tyre pressure. They must have the pressure indicated by the
manufacturer. This is usually marked on the outside of the tyre.

Tyres with a high atmospheric pressure or worn tyres may cause the wheel to have less adherence.
Likewise,  an  excessively low pressure may cause loss of adherence and cause a serious accident.
If the manufacturer's requirements are not observed, the damage will not be covered by the warranty.
