Due to the coaction of rim brake and rim, not only the brake pad is subject
to wear due to its function, but also the rim. For this reason the rim should
be checked for wearing at regular intervals. The occurrence of fine cracks or
the deformation of the rim edges as a result of an increased air pressure are
signs of advanced wearing. Rims with wear indicators will tell you whether
the rim is worn down or not. See chapter .
Pads of rim, drum and disc brakes are inherently subject to wear. It depends
on how the bicycle is used. Cycling over hilly terrain or sport cycling may
involve a replacement of the brake pads at shorter intervals. Regularly check
the wearing of the pads and have them replaced by your bicycle dealer.
The bicycle chain is inherently subject to wear. The rate of wear will depend
on care and maintenance and the way you use your bicycle (extent of use,
riding in the rain, dirt, salt etc.). Regular cleaning and oiling may lengthen its
service life. If it has reached its limit of wear, however, it must be replaced.
Cycling with a worn down chain may damage further parts of the drive. See
chapter .
The sprockets, chainrings, bottom brackets and jockey wheels of bicycles
with derailleur gears are subject to wear due to their function. Regular clean-
ing and lubrication may lengthen the service life. If they have reached their
limit of wear, however, they must be replaced. The rate of wear will depend
on care, maintenance and the way you use your bicycle (extent of use, riding
in the rain, dirt, salt etc.).
Light bulbs and other lamps are inherently subject to wear. For this reason
they may be in need of replacement. Always take replacement bulbs on a
cycling tour to be able to carry out the replacement.
Handlebar tapes and grips are subject to wear due to their function. For this
reason a replacement at regular intervals may be necessary. Make sure the
grips are tight on the handlebars.
Hydraulic oils and lubricants become ineffective over time.
All points of lubrication should be cleaned and relubricated at regular in-
tervals. Old lubricants that are not removed and re-applied lead to an in-
creased wearing of the add-on parts and bearings concerned.
All Bowden cables must be serviced at regular intervals and replaced, if
necessary. This becomes particularly acute, when the bicycle is often left in
the open and exposed to weather influences.
The paint is in need of regular care. Regularly check all painted surfaces for
damage and touch up paint defects immediately. If necessary, protect the
paint from rubbing cables as well as the chain stay by means of adhesive,
transparent straps. This will preserve the finish of your bicycle.
In addition to the warranty WINORA-STAIGER GmbH provide an additional
guarantee in terms of quality, durability and sound condition for the frames.
In the event of a claim, your direct contact is your bicycle dealer, who will be
pleased to answer your inquiries.
The frames are warranted from the date of purchase to the initial buyer for
all bicycles as of model year 2009
- 5 years for aluminium frames

The WINORA-STAIGER GmbH guarantee is nontransferable. It only applies
to the initial buyer and upon presentation of the receipt and a copy of the
completely filled in delivery protocol. The guarantee does not cover labour
and transport costs, nor does it cover follow up costs resulting from defects.
It does not cover damage resulting from wear, neglect (insufficient care
and maintenance), accidents, overstress caused by overloading, incorrect
assembly (non-observance of manufacturer’s assembly instructions) or
improper treatment or damage resulting from changes to the bicycle (e.g.
mounting or alteration of additional components). For damage resulting from
jumps or any other undue stress as well as from noncompliance with recom-
mendations in this manual or your bicycle dealer’s advise there shall be no
claim under guarantee. For more information on the intended use, please
read the respective chapter of the present manual.
Further claims against us, in particular claims to reduction or for damages,
shall remain unconsidered by this guarantee. Performance of any service
within this guarantee by WINORA-STAIGER GmbH shall not extend or re-
start the guarantee period.
In the event of unjustified return deliveries we reserve ourselves the right to
invoice a flat-rate fee for the expenses incurred to us.
