ROTWILD 2008/2009 – Ä nderungen vorbehalten / Subject to change _ 47
ROTWILD mountain bikes und racing bikes have been designed and constructed for
purely sporting purposes, and are neither suitable nor authorised for use on public
roads, streets or spaces. ROTWILD bikes do not conform to the relevant road traffic
regulations applicable in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Please consult your local
dealer with respect to the regulations applicable in your region/country.
If you intend to ride your ROTWILD bike in public areas, it must be fitted with the
appropriate accessories required by law (e.g. reflectors, lighting, bell etc.). The
rider/owner is solely liable for compliance with the rules and regulations prevailing in
the country of purchase/use.
Please consult your local dealer for details.
GETTING USED TO YOUR ROTWILD BIKE
Your new ROTWILD bike may ride, steer, brake and have a different gear change
when compared with your previous bike. This is particularly the case when it is
your first MTB/Racing bike.
Take some time to get used to it, and ride with particular care in this phase!
Try out your new gears on an open, traffic free space, if possible. If
you have never used click or safety pedals and the appropriate shoes
before, then you must get used to the lock and release procedures,
preferably while standing. First of all, read the pedal system
instructions carefully. You are particularly prone to accident risks if
your new MTB/Racing bike has a totally different braking system.
Modern brakes may have a much stronger, and more immediate
braking effect than the brakes you have previously been used to! It is
also possible, that the right and left brake levers now operate different
brakes. Try it out first - carefully!
