4.6.2.2 Proper handling of carbon parts

1. Under no circumstances should you install clips, screw connections, clampings or other elements

which exert mechanical forces on the carbon tube. Excluded from this are the areas of components e.g.

handlebars and saddle posts which are explicitly designated as such. Nevertheless, it is important here

to comply exactly with the tightening torques!

2. Clamping to mounting stands or other forms of clamping:

• Never clamp your bike at a carbon tube or carbon saddle post in the jaws of an assembly stand.

• For clamping in an assembly stand you should temporarily use a saddle post with the same diameter.

For instructions on dismantling and installation please see section 13.2, Dismantling and installing sad-

dle post with saddle.

3. Take care when using shackle locks! Under certain circumstances these can damage your frame.

• Ensure when using shackle locks that these only touch the corresponding carbon tube and do not

exert any clamping force or weight.

4. Saddle clamping bracket / saddle post

• The prescribed tightening torque of the saddle clamping bracket bolt is 5 – 6 Nm.

• The saddle tube must not be reamed out or otherwise mechanically machined.

• Saddle post and saddle tube must not be greased. Use only the carbon assembly paste supplied with

the bike.

• Saddle posts may only be assembled in a carbon frame using the carbon assembly paste supplied.

• The saddle clamp must not be closed when the saddle post is removed, as otherwise irreparable

damage to the saddle tube may result.

• Take the saddle post out of the frame approximately every two months, clean it and apply new carbon

assembly paste. See section 13.2, Dismantling and installing saddle post with saddle.

5. Bottle holders:

• The thread sets are provided for the attachment of commercially available bottle holders. The maxi-

mum tightening torque of the screws for fastening the bottle holder to the frame is 4Nm.

6. Roller training:

• The use of roller trainers with rigid clamping is not permitted. The rigid clamping of the fork ends or

quick-release axle exerts loads that differ significantly from those occurring during the permitted use

for riding. This can result in damage to the bike frame.

• Use on a loose roller without rigid clamping of the frame is permitted.

7. Transport: See section 13, Transporting the Bike.

4.7 Tyres

GHOST bikes have different tyres as standard. The tyre brand, type, size and air pressure information can be

found printed on the tyre walls.

As far as the valve types are concerned, we mainly use inner tubes with Sclaverand valve (SV), which is col-

loquially known as the “French valve”. The models of the POWERKID range may include inner tubes with a

Sclaverand valve (SV) and an automatic valve (AV). For the version, please refer to the following illustration.

If replacement inner tubes are used, it must be ensured that only inner tubes are used which contain the

same valves as the original inner tube, as the diameter of the SV and AV valves differ from one another.
