give you even more comfort. This grip

is one of Batavus’s own developments;

it gives the palm of the hand just the

right support. Because of this, tingling

ﬁ ngers and numb hands are limited to

a minimum.

The grip is equipped with a bolt which

has to fall precisely into a groove in the

handlebars. If you wish to adjust the

Ergo-Grip, loosen the bolt a few turns

with a 3 mm hexagonal key, place the

grip in the correct position and then

tighten the bolt again. Check whether

your grip is tight enough!

Your Batavus dealer can also be of

service to you in this case.

Luggage, such as shopping, should be

on the luggage rack or in the saddle

bags wherever possible.

If you use a handlebar bag, make sure

that this bag (with contents) weighs as

little as possible. Too much weight on

the handlebars may be detrimental to

the steering behaviour of the bicycle.

THE HEADSET

The front fork is ﬁ xed in the frame

by means of the headset (15) which

consists of two (ball) bearing rings at

the top and bottom of the head tube

of the frame. It is important that the

headset is properly adjusted. Damage

(e.g. ‘pitting’ in the bearing ring) al-

most always arises if there is play in the

two bearings. It is therefore advisable

to check, on a regular basis, whether

there is indeed play. You can do so by

trying to push the bicycle backwards

and forwards while braking with the

front brake. Excessive play can be felt

immediately. It is advisable to go along

to your Batavus dealer for regular

checks. It is more difﬁ cult to ascertain

play if your bicycle has roller brakes,

because the roller brake construction

suggests play. So it is preferable to

have this done by your Batavus dealer,

too, including if your bicycle does not

have a front brake.

HUB GEARS

A SMOOTH RIDE

A Batavus bicycle with hub gears

ensures smooth, easy gear shifting. It

is advisable to choose a lighter gear

rather than one which is slightly too

heavy to spare your back and knees.

Use the heaviest gear as much as

possible for descents or if you have a

tail wind. There is a rotary gear shift

switch on a lot of Batavus models (16).

It is ergonomically shaped and is light

to operate. You will have a smoother

gear shift and spare the mechanism if

you stop pedalling for a moment while

shifting gear. If, as time goes by, gears

jump spontaneously or you experience

any creaking, just cycle down to your

Batavus dealer and have your bicycle

checked out. He can easily correct these

defects.
