12.4 Taking the Bicycle by Plane.
If you want to take your bicycle with you when you go on a trip by plane,
pack it in an appropriate bicycle suitcase (a) or in a bicycle cardboard
box (b) that you can obtain from your BMW partner. Special bicycle bags
often do not provide sufcient protection.
Pack the wheels in special wheel bags to protect them inside the
suitcase or cardboard box. Do not forget to take the necessary tools, a
torque wrench, bits and this manual with you to be able to assemble the
bicycle and to get it ready for use at your destination.
When you remove the wheels from a bicycle with disc brakes, be sure to
place pad spacers between the brake shoes. Otherwise they can come
out unintentionally and you will have difculties in bringing them back
into position. Your BMW partner has a variety of brake pad spacers. Pull
the brake levers and x them with a tape to the handlebars. This will
keep the system free of air.
12.5 Accessories.
In purchasing this high quality bicycle you laid the foundation for many
years and miles of enjoyable cycling. Whatever you are planning to do
with your bicycle, be sure to have proper equipment and to keep a few
tips in mind. Your BMW partner has a variety of useful accessories (c) on
offer enhancing both your safety and convenience.
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 inner tube, a tyre
repair kit, your mobile phone and a little cash (d). In this way you will be
well prepared in the event of a puncture or some other mishap.
Improper accessories may change the qualities of your bicycle
and even cause an accident. Therefore, before tting any
accessories do contact your BMW partner and observe the
instructions regarding the intended use of your bicycle.
BMW recommends using BMW approved parts and accessories.
