this quickly so that further damage to
the wheel is prevented.
• Have your dealer check the tension in
the spokes regularly after that.
In some bicycles the aluminium rims
are equipped with a ‘Safetyline’. This is
an indicator which shows when the rim
is worn. After a lot of intensive braking,
the side of the rim wears such that a strip
eventually becomes visible (or the groove
becomes invisible). This means that the
rim must be replaced. Your Batavus dea-
ler will be happy to help you here.
MENDING A PUNCTURE
1. After having protected the saddle
and handlebars against damage, place
the bicycle upside down, if possible. You
can also place the bicycle (well protec-
ted) on its side such that the wheel with
the puncture can turn freely. If your
bicycle has a quick release lever, you can
take the wheel with the puncture out
of the frame (front wheel: slacken quick
release lever and remove wheel / rear
wheel: see Removing the rear wheel).
2. Check the tyre for small stones, pie-
ces of glass or perhaps a nail.
When you remove the offending stone,
glass or nail, the location of the punc-
ture may immediately become appa-
rent (check the inside of the tyre later
for metal splinters etc.).
3. Remove the valve and the rim nut.
Press the edge of the tyre to the middle
of the rim. Place the fi rst tyre lever bet-
ween the tyre and the edge of the rim
(not in the vicinity of the valve). Wedge
the tyre lever behind a spoke.
4. Wedge the second tyre lever in place
two spokes further up. Repeat with
the third tyre lever (again, two spokes
further). Remove the rest of the tyre
with your hand (33).
5. Press the valve holder inwards,
remove the inner tube and pump it up.
In the case of a large puncture you will
hear air escaping. A smaller puncture
can be found by immersing the inner
tube in a bowl of water. Mark the
puncture with a ballpoint and dry the
inner tube off.
6. Clean the area around the puncture
with sandpaper. Allow the air out of
the inner tube. Spread a thin layer of
solution out over an area larger than
the patch. Allow the solution to dry for
1 - 2 minutes
7. Remove the plastic backing from the
patch. Press the patch fi rmly over the
puncture.
8. Put the inner tube back into place
such that the valve holder is immedi-
ately in front of the hole in the rim
through which it must pass. Screw
the rim nut a number of turns on the
holder, put the valve back and tighten
it again (34). Blow the tyre up slightly.
9. Return the tyre to its original posi-
tion with your hands. It is very easy to
cause a puncture with the tyre levers.
Work from the valve holder and ensure
that the inner tube does not become
jammed between the rim and the tyre.
10. Push the valve part through the
rim for a moment and pull it back out
again. Pump the tyre back up, screw
the valve nut up to the rim and put the
dust cap back on.
