Only use the designated cleats and shoes for MTB,
racing and system pedals. If you use other cleats/
shoes you may slip out of the pedals.
Riders who are inexperienced in the use of MTB system
pedals or road system pedals, also referred to as click
pedals, are vulnerable to falls with potentially serious
consequences. If you use system pedals, practise clicking
into the pedal and releasing the shoe from the pedal when
the bike is stationary. Never practise this in road traffic.
Read the user manual of the pedal and shoe manufacturer.

9.2.2 Operating the quick-release device

Adjusting the seat position

› Do not remove or change the seatpost or saddle
clamp. If you change or modify components, this
renders the warranty invalid.
› Tighten all screws to the prescribed torque as
otherwise screws could shear off and compo-
nents could come loose or detach altogether (see
➠ Chapter 30 "Technical data").
› All quick-release devices must be tightened se-
curely before you set off. Check this before every
journey.
› If you leave your bike unattended, check that all
quick-release devices are correctly secured be-
fore setting off again.
› When closing the quick-release lever to lock it,
it must be necessary to apply a force that causes
you to make a fist with your hand as otherwise
the quick-release device could come loose.
