The bicycle you have purchased is a quality product. Nevertheless, as with other vehicles, you must look after the bike regularly and carry out regular maintenance work. This is the only way to guarantee the durable and safe function of all parts, as well as driving pleasure and safety over several years.
An initial inspection is particularly necessary after the first few kilometers, as the spokes of the wheels can settle to a certain extent, for example, or the gear cables can become elongated, which limits the proper functioning of the gears. Please contact one of our specialist dealers or a specialist workshop near you.
