ROTWILD USER MANUAL
Wear and replacement
• Regularly check the wear on your chain.
Accurate measuring tools are available
to perform a precise check.
• Because the chain is an endless
construction with no connector link,
chain replacement should only be
carried out by an experienced bicycle
mechanic with the appropriate special
riveting equipment.
• An incorrectly riveted chain may break
and cause a fall or accident. Please
contact a qualified professional work-
shop for chain replacement.
Brakes and brake pads
Check the brake cables of your ROTWILD
bike for damage or other irregularities at
regular intervals. The thickness of the
brake pads should also be checked regu-
larly and after continuous hard use.
When the brake pad thickness is below
0.9 mm, have your brake pads replaced
by a qualified professional workshop.
Potential accident risk
Worn brake pads cannot provide sufficient
braking performance, and may also lead
to damage to your brake discs.
• Measuring the thickness of the brake
pads requires the removal of the
wheels.
• Open the calliper as far as possible
with a 5 mm allen key until the brake
pads are accessible.
• Push the pads out of their recessed
mounting and pull them out of the
calliper assembly.
• The brake pads must be replaced if the
pad thickness is less than 0.9 mm.
