After you have exchanged the tires please

check if the wheels turn freely and check the

minimum distance between mudguards and

frame.

Due to the small wheel diameter even small

tolerances in rim or tire diameter can cause

visible misalignement of the tire on the rim.

Pump up the tire to only 1 bar first, then align

the tire by twisting it with your hands. Do not

orientate yourself at the attached reflex strip,

this strip can be slightly misaligned due to the

production process.

To remove the rear wheel shift the rear derail-

leur to the fastest gear / smalles sprocket.Turn

the twist grip of the hub gear to the uphill

mode "1". Press the locking mechanism of the

click box. Remove the click box. Now you can

loosen the axle nuts and dismount the rear

wheel (see the DualDrive manual).

Cleaning and conservation

The frame of the Spirit has a high quality and

environmentally friendly powder coating.The

surfaces of the aluminum parts are either po-

lished or anodized.

To keep the surfaces brilliant over many years

and to protect them effectively against corro-

sion the bicycle has to be cleaned from dirt

and then conserved.

Dried sweat but also environmental influences

such as air pollution, dirt on the roads and

especially grit affect the parts, and not only

may this cause flaws but also serious structural

damage of the parts through corrosion.

In contrast to a widespread belief particularly

the "non-rusting" aluminum is dramatically af-

fected by grit! This kind of damage may not be

visible in the beginning but it leads to a serious

danger when the part breaks.

Do clean and conserve your bicycle diligently!

The best things to clean your bicycle with are

warm water and a soft cloth. If your bicycle is

very dirty first take a wet sponge to soften the

dirt and then remove it. In case of bad grease

or oil stains you should use a special cleansing

agent for bicycles in addition.

Wheels, Cleaning

Danger! Take care that your spokes are al-

ways in perfect condition and the spoke ten-

sion is balanced. Do not ride with wheels

that run untrue or wheels with loose or

missing spokes.These faults may lead to a

total failure of the wheel while braking and

result in a serious fall!

Caution! To true up the wheels you need

special skills, please have this work done by

an experienced bicycle mechanic.

Caution! Do not use any cleansing agents

that scrub or are chemically aggressive since

they affect the paintwork. Before using any

cleansing agent please test it at a part of

your bicycle that is not immediately visible.
