control.
If the shifter parts are loose, worn, damaged,
incorrectly adjusted, make unusual noises, the
gearchange does not work properly or other problems
occur, have the shifter checked and if necessary
repaired in a specialist workshop.
You can use the gear shift to change the transmission ratio
of the drive, so that you can ride at a comfortable pace with
less eort. You can change gears by moving the control el-
ements (gear levers, twist grips, buttons, …) on the handle-
bars. The lower the number shown on the control element,
the easier it is to pedal. The higher the number shown on
the control element, the greater the pedalling resistance.
Low gears are useful for riding up a mountain, so that you
can reach the peak with little eort. On a straight level
stretch, medium gears are the right choice to achieve and
maintain a higher speed without having to pedal too much.
High gears are recommended for downhill stretches.

away. It therefore makes sense to perform regular visual
checks of the state of wear. You can recognise the state of
wear with a marking, e.g., grooves in the brake lining. On
Shimano brake shoes, a wear line is visible on the brake
pads. This must not be shorter than a certain minimum
length. With Magura, the grooves in the lining must still be
visible from the outside. If the wear line or grooves are no
longer visible, the brake pads must be replaced. Have this
done in a specialist workshop.

23.7 Cleaning and care
The brake grips can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth.
Rim brake: The rims can be cleaned with a sponge and
soapy water.
Disc brakes: Clean the disc brakes with a sponge and soapy
water. If they are very dirty, we recommend using a little
brake cleaner on a rag.
24.1 Adjusting the position of the control
elements
Information
The gear levers should be positioned at the same angle
as the brake levers.
1. Loosen the fastening screw by turning it one or
two turns counterclockwise.
2. To move the control element, move it to the left or
right into the desired position.
3. To adjust the angle of the control element, place
one or two ngers on the gear lever. Now turn the
grip downward until your nger, wrist and forearm
are in a line.
4. Then tighten the fastening screw clockwise to the
specied torque using a torque wrench
