15.5.6 puncture Kit (a)
The most important accessories for a successful bicycle ride are a tyre
pump and a small tool kit. The tool kit should include two plastic tyre levers,
the most commonly used Allen keys, a spare tube, a tyre repair kit, your
mobile phone and a little cash. In this way you will be well prepared in the
event of a puncture or some other mishap.
15.5.7 Kickstand (b)
Bicycle kickstands are to prevent the bicycle from falling over when parked.
The kickstand you opt for should match your needs.
A centre kickstand is crucial for bicycles fitted with a child carrier because
they prevent the bicycle from toppling over even when loaded. The rider
has both hands free to lift the child into and out of the carrier seat without
unbalancing the bicycle.
Never leave children alone and unsupervised in a parked bicy-
cle, it may topple over!
Twin leg kickstands folding up to one side have become more and more
popular on touring bicycles. They keep the bicycle stable, even with heavy
baggage.
Side kickstands mounted to the bottom of the frame, behind the bottom
bracket or to the rear stay or wheel axle keep the bicycle in a slightly inclined
position. A rubber foot attached to the side kickstand provides added sup-
port on soft surfaces.
If your bicycle is fitted with a telescopic kickstand, you can adjust its length
without tools by simply turning the adjustment wheel. The proper length of
the kickstand is the distance from the pivotal point of the kickstand to the
ground with the bicycle in upright position. Other adjustable side kickstands
are fitted with a visible clamping bolt. The adjustment of this type of kick-
stand requires a wrench or an Allen key.
Your bicycle dealer will be pleased to help you finding an appro-
priate kickstand! Have the kickstand mounted by your bicycle
dealer.
15.5.8 Mirrors

15.5.9 Mudguards (a+b)
If you want to fit your bicycle with mudguards, ask your bicycle dealer for
advice. There are removable mudguards, also referred to as clip-on mud-
guards, as well as firmly attached models that provide more protection.
Retro-fittable mudguards designed to be firmly attached are normally made
of plastic and mounted in the correct position by means of additionally fitted
stays. The accurate length of the stay is achieved when the bottom edge of
the mudguard runs parallel to the tyre.
For safety reasons pop off front stays are a must. They are to prevent the
front wheel from getting jammed due to impurities clinging to the tyre. In
such an event the front stay pops off, thus avoiding a possible accident. The
plug-in connection allows an easy re-fixing.
Be sure to replace damaged mudguards!
15.5.10 Bicycle Locks
Best anti-theft protection is provided by stable cable and D-locks (c+d).
With a D-lock you can lock e.g. the bicycle frame to a lamppost, where-
as a cable lock means additional protection for the wheels. The D-lock is
mounted to the frame by means of a bracket, a convenient way of taking
it with you. Cable locks can be fixed under the saddle around the tube, if
your bicycle is not fitted with a frame mounting. Your bicycle dealer will be
pleased to advise you about the various security categories of bicycle locks.
Always fix the lock securely to the bicycle and do not let it hang
down the handlebars.
