mage is immediately visible in the fi rst
instance. Damaged components must
be replaced immediately. For safety
reasons have your bicycle thoroughly
checked, preferably by your Batavus
dealer.
• If your front fork, handlebars or stee-
ring pin is/are bent or damaged after
a fall or accident, these components
may not, under any circumstances, be
bent back into their original shape. This
may alter the structure of the material
such that a crack could arise. If possible,
therefore, consult your Batavus dealer
and have bent or damaged bicycle
components replaced.
• It is important to be extra alert if the
bicycle is used intensively. Take extra
care with maintenance, checks on
the spoke tension being particularly
important.
Check the following regularly:
• Are the brakes working properly?
Are the brake blocks and bolts fi rmly
tightened? Are the cables intact? Are
the brake surfaces clean and free from
grease?
• Are the spokes correctly tensioned?
Have the spokes checked and, if neces-
sary, tightened by your Batavus dealer
on a regular basis.
• Are the saddle and steering pin hi-
gher than the maximum safety height?
• Have all the bolts, nuts and quick
release levers been fi rmly tightened
and are they still in good shape (not
damaged)?
• Is the running area of the tyres worn
and do the tyres have any weak spots
or lumps? Are the tyres hard enough?
See the information on the side of the
tyre for the correct pressure.
• Are the steering pin, handlebars,
saddle and saddle pin still fi rmly tigh-
tened? Is there any play in the Ahead-
set?
• Is the handlebar tape damaged or
loose?
• re all the gears still working properly?
Is there too much play in the pedals?
Are the toe clips still fi xed tightly? Do the
bindings (click system) still work smoothly?
• Have components been mounted
on the bicycle at a later stage or have
changes been made to the frame (e.g.
another front fork)? Always have any
additions or alterations checked by
your Batavus dealer.

THEFT PREVENTION
A GOOD LOCK
Your Batavus racing bicycle is too
valuable to park it just anyhow and
anywhere. In general you will therefore
not let it out of your sight en route.
If, however, you do have to park your
bicycle at some stage, it is sensible
to anchor it to a pole or fence with a
cable lock. The cable does have to go
through the frame and both wheels. If
the cable is not long enough, the solu-
tion is to remove the front wheel from
the frame and place it next to the rear
wheel. In this way, the cable can easily
go through the frame and both wheels.
Provide some extra protection in this
case (e.g. cover or cap), to prevent the
ends of the front fork from becoming
damaged.
Insure your bicycle against theft. Did
you know that there are insurance
companies which require a special
safety lock?
