Water bottle cage
You can mount a water bottle cage at the side
of the seat, under the frame between the
wheels or at the front derailleur tube.The
main frame tube and the derailleur tube at the
front of the frame come already with threa-
ding inserts M5 for that purpose.
You can mount a water bottle cage at the left
or right side of the seat so that you can com-
fortably reach it while riding. For that purpose
you can drill two holes into the outmost edge
of the seat.To fasten the cage use screws with
big heads or big washers in order not do da-
mage the fiberglass of the seat.Another good
alternative is the position at the back of the
seat between the shoulders where you can al-
so comfortably grab the bottle while riding.
Another useful alternative to water bottles are
systems with a "water bag" and a drinking ho-
se, e.g. from S
OURCE or CAMELBAG.You can sim-
ply strap them behind the seat, onto the rear
rack or into the Speedbag.
Mudguards
At bicycles with suspension mudguards are ex-
posed to very strong vibrations through which
they may break. Please check the stays of the
mudguard regularly for their position and
check the mudguards for cracks or deforma-
tions. Immediately replace damaged mud-
guards.
In order to prevent falls you have to fasten the
stays of the front mudguard with a security
clip that opens under pressure.When the clip
has opened once please replace it with a new
one.
Water bottle Cage, Mudguards
Caution! Do not drill any holes into other
seat areas than those indicated above. It is
especially important not to damage the rein-
forcing ribs.
An ideal position for water bottle cages is at the side of the seat.
Caution!You must not mount additional
parts like rear lights or reflectors to the
mudguards since those may break then.
Danger! If branches or other obstacles get
caught in the wheels while riding and are
moved around they may drag the mudguards
along.The mudguard can possibly fold up
between frame and tire and hence block the
wheel, which may lead to a serious fall. If you
hear any unknown noises while riding stop
immediately and remove anything that might
cling to the mudguards or the wheels.
