Pay particular attention when switching to the small gears, making sure the rear derailleur does not get too close to the spokes as the chain climbs onto the larger sprockets.
If the rear derailleur or the drop-outs/derailleur hanger is bent, the rear derailleur may collide with the spokes. This in turn can destroy the rear derailleur, the rear wheel or the frame. Check the function of the front derailleur, as a displaced front derailleur can throw off the chain, thus interrupting the drive of your GRANVILLE bike. Risk of falling!
For more information see the chapter «Gears» and the manuals of the component manu- facturers.
4. Make sure the saddle is not twisted by using the top tube (e) or the bottom bracket shell as a reference. If necessary, open the clamping, realign the saddle and retighten the clamping (f).
For more information see the chapters «Adjusting the GRANVILLE bike to the rider» and «Using quick-releases» and the manuals of the component manufacturers.
5. Let your GRANVILLE bike bounce on the ground from a small height. If there is any rattling, check where it comes from. Check the bearings and bolted connections, if necessary. Tighten them slightly, if necessary.
6. Finally, take a good look at the whole GRANVILLE bike to detect any deformations, colour changes or cracks.
WARNING
Ride back very carefully by taking the shortest route possible, even if your GRANVILLE bike went through this check without any problems. Do not accelerate or brake hard and do not ride your bike out of the saddle. If you are in doubt about the performance of your GRANVILLE bike, have yourself picked up by car, instead of taking any risk.
