rear wheels.
Each wheel consists of the following:
■
Hub,
■
Brake Disc,
■
Spokes,
■
Rim,
■
Rim tape
■
and tyres.
6.2.1
Checking the installation
1.
Vigorously shake both wheels at right angles to
the direction of travel:
The wheels must not move in the clamp mecha‐
nism.
No cracking or crunching noises must be
audible.
2.
Contact your bicycle dealer if the inspection
reveals defects.
6.2.2
Checking the rims
Check the rims for wobbling:
To do so, lift up your Trike Hybrid and turn the
front and rear wheels in turn. Pay attention to
the distance between the frame stay or fork leg.
The maximum permissible deviation per revolu‐
tion is 2 mm.
6.2.3
Checking the spokes
1.
Check the spokes on the front and rear wheels
regularly.
All spokes must be tight and undamaged.
Even individual spokes that have become loose
or damaged can cause consequential damage.
NOTICE
Do not use your Trike Hybrid
if spokes have become loose
or damaged or if spokes are
missing!
2.
Consult your bicycle dealer if spokes have
become loose or damaged.
6.2.4
Checking the tyres
DANGER
Risk of a burst tyre or sudden loss
of pressure!
If the valves are tilted, the valve
base can break off while cycling,
which causes a sudden loss of pres‐
sure in the tyre.
Incorrect tyre pressure reduces
cycling comfort and in the worst
case the tyre can burst at full
speed.

−
Only carry out the work on the
tyres mentioned here yourself
if you have the necessary exper‐
tise.
−
If you do not have the neces‐
sary expertise for certain work or
are unsure, contact your bicycle
dealer.
