  • Page 35: Materials

    Materials 4.6.1 Breakdown For our bike frames we use aluminium alloys and carbon materials. Our brand bikes with carbon frames are marked with the name “LECTOR” in the type designation. All other bikes are manufactured with an alumini- um frame.

  • Page 36: Information On The Frame Construction

    Impact loads that occur if using the bike for other than the designated purpose, or in the case of falls, accidents and flying stones, can lead to invisible damage in the carbon fabric and/or to delaminations (= separation of the bonded carbon layers). Such prior damage together with the forces occurring during operation can cause carbon parts to suddenly break and hence result in dangerous riding situations, falls, accidents and material damage.

  • Page 37: Tyres

    7. Transport: See section 13, Transporting the Bike. Tyres GHOST bikes have different tyres as standard. The tyre brand, type, size and air pressure information can be found printed on the tyre walls. As far as the valve types are concerned, we mainly use inner tubes with Sclaverand valve (SV), which is col- loquially known as the “French valve”.

  • Page 38: Frame Sets

    • Have your dealer adjust the correct saddle height and position for you. • Ask your specialist bicycle dealer to explain to you the technology included in your bike. • Protect your bike with spray wax. See section 14.2, How to clean and care for your bike. Before Every Use...

  • Page 39: Inspecting The Wheels

    In the following sections the tests for the standard equipment of all GHOST bikes are described. Some sec- tions only apply if your bike has the listed equipment. This can be found in the section on “Design and Func- tion”. If you are not sure which tests apply to your model of bike, please contact your specialist dealer. He or she will be pleased to advise you.

  • Page 40: Checking The Position And Tight Fit

    Special rims (with or without spoke holes that are sealed to be airtight) and tyres are sealed to be airtight and make a tube superfluous. Nevertheless, in the case of a breakdown such a tyre can be mounted. Field of application: Mountainbikes, crossbikes, racing bike/street • Tube tyres: The tube is sewn into the tyre.

  • Page 41: Checking The Rims For Wobble

    2. Run your finger nail across the rim flank. You should not feel scratches or scores. 7.1.2.2 Checking the rims for wobble: 1. Pick up the bike and rotate the front- and rear wheel in turn. 2. Pay attention to the clearance between rim and brake blocks, on bikes with disc brakes to the distance between rim and frame strut or fork rod.

  • Page 42: Checking That The Tyre Is Correctly Fitted

    2. Remove any foreign bodies (thorns, small stones, pieces of glass or similar items) by hand or carefully with a small screwdriver. Check if air is then leaking out. • If air is leaking out the inner tube has to be renewed. You may change the inner tube of the wheel yourself.

  • Page 43: Checking Other Points

    NOTE : A bike pump with pressure gauge allows you to check the inflation pressure while inflating. First allow a little air to escape from the tyre, then inflate to the required value. There are various types of valves (see section 4.7, Tyres). All valves can be fitted with a dust cap. In the case of a Schraeder (Auto) valve or Dunlop valve, the pump head can be connected directly after removing the cap.
