• Correct contact of breaking pads with the rim (symmetrical action of both clamps, pads wear, proper distance of pads from the rim • A rim without a groove should have wall thickness of at least 1,2 mm at the contact with the brake pad, if it is smaller, the rim must be replaced 2.

All bicycle parts should be installed with suggested moments placed on the elements, or, in case when they are lacking the markings, according to the list of moments listed in this user manual. Kross and Le Grand bicycles should be used according to their intended use defined by the manufacturer. It is forbidden to use any attachments or wagons while riding the bicycle.

located on the opposite side of the lever must be tightened (half a rotation), lock again and check. Repeat the procedure until a positive effect is reached, namely, the lever cannot be rotated while in locked position. 7. Tighten pedals to the crank with moments defined in this manual, remembering, that they have right-handed and left-handed threads, respectively (marked on the axis of the pedals). 8.

Handlebars height setting provides comfort and effective pedalling. Handlebars height is regulated depending on the support type – with a wedge, Fig. 13, or a-head, Fig. 14. Check which type is used in your bicycle. Some handlebars supports in Kross and Le Grand bicycles have a regulated setting angle. It enables each user to adjust the handlebars to their own needs.
Page 11
Transport In order to set the handlebars and the wheel in the axis of symmetry of the bicycle (or to prepare one of these elements for transport – twist in relation to the axis of symmetry) in a system with a wedge one has to loosen the fixing screw at the top of the bracket, and in the a-head system – tightening screws at the side of the bracket.
Tyre and fork replacement Bicycle tyres often have different external diameter (tyre width and height). Thus, always check the separation between the tyre and the fork in order to make sure that the tyre does not come in contact with any part of the fork. Remember that the thinnest part of the fork is located close to pivots. If you want to remove a wheel, it might be necessary to empty the tyre in order to make sliding the wheel through the pivots possible.
Maintenance schedule After each ride Every 25 h Every 50 h Every 100 h Clean the leg pipes and anti-dust seals Search for upper pipes scratchings Grease the seals using Teflon oil (e.g. Brunox Deo) Check air pressure Check if the main screws are tightened to appropriate moment (Nm) 1st service 2nd service...
Checking and adjustment of hydraulic disc brakes Check the brake lines and their connections for leakages during pressing on the brake lever. If a leakage is found, immediately contact an authorised Kross service station, because a leakage may result in inoperational brakes. Braking levers may be adjusted to the hand size of the cyclist, ensuring optimum braking efficiency. In most cases, the adjustment is made using a small Allen screw or a cross-headed screw located in the cover of the brake lever.

WARNING • 203 mm and 180 mm discs provide higher braking force than 160 mm discs. Before using the brakes make sure that you have good sense of braking characteristics. • Please pay special attention and do not insert fingers, during wheel installation or servicing, in the rotating disc of the disc brake. The disc is sharp enough to cause serious wounds if fingers become trapped in openings of the rotating disc.

WHEELS Wheels should rotate lightly and fluidly, and the tyres should fit well along the entire rim circumference. Adjustment Well lubricated and screwed together axles allow traversing thousands of kilometers without the need for bearing replacement in the wheels. Well centered wheels should also serve well without the need for pulling up the spokes.

Installation of the front wheel with a dynamo in the axle front fork Przedni widelec Do not lubricate the interior of the axle, since the lubricant shall flow outside, which may possibly result in conductivity problems. An axle with a Z cze dynamo results in the wheel rotating harder because of the magnet located in the axle.

Perform carrier level adjustment by changing positioning of screws in the connector, pos. 1. After reaching the desired carrier level, thoroughly and firmly tighten the screw connections. Because it is possible for the screws to become spontaneously loose, each time before using the carrier, check their tightening. If the screws became loose, tighten them immediately.
