rain, dirt, salt, etc.).
Cleaning and greasing will help to prolong its life but you will have to
replace the chain when reaching the wear limit.
Sprockets, chainrings
and pulleys.
Due to its use sprockets, chainrings and pulleys are subject to wear and
tear.
This depends on maintenance and conditions of use of the bike (amount of
kilometers, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).
Cleaning and greasing will help to prolong its life but you will have to
replace the chain when reaching the wear limit.
Shifting-and brake
cables.
All
cables must be surveyed regularly and changed if necessary. This can
happen especially when the bike is often standing outside in weather.
In case of small cracks or deformation of the brake surface of the rim
while inflating the tires replace the rim immediately.
Rims with wear-out indicators enable the bike user to check easily the
condition of the rim. Please have a look concerning this issue on the
sticker on the rim.
Tires.
Due to their use tires are subject to wear and tear. This depends on the
use of the bike and is influenced by the riding style.
Aggressive braking will reduce the lifetime of the tire dramatically.
In addition check the air pressure regularly and inflate the tire
according to the pressure recommended by the producer of the tire which
is imprinted on the sidewall of the tire.
Brakepads.
All brake pads, no matter if rim-brake, disc-brake or internal brake are
subject to wear and tear due to their use.
This depends on maintenance and conditions of use of the bike (amount of
kilometers, rain, dirt, salt, etc.).

Rims.
When using a rim brake not only the brake pads are subject to wear and
tear. Also the rim.
Because of this please check regularly the rims e.g. when inflating the
tires.
Light Systems and
reflectors.
A well functioning light system is of a very high importance for your
riding safety in public traffic.
Before every ride check front and tail light and the condition of the
reflectors.
Light bulbs are subject of wear and tear and we recommend to take some
replacements with you in case of failure.
Handlebar grips.
Due to their use handlebar grips are subject to wear and tear, and
should be replaced immediately in case they do not fit anymore to the
handlebar or get loosen.
Handlebar, stem and seat post.
Handlebar, stem and seat post are under high dynamic forces while
riding.
Please check these parts regularly for visible cracks or damages and
replace them if necessary.
In addition we recommend a periodical replacement (every two years) of
these parts when riding often and hard.
