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-xing.
Be sure to replace damaged mudguards!
12.5.3 Bicycle Locks.
Best anti-theft protection is provided by stable cable and D-locks (a+b).
With a D-lock you can lock e.g. the bicycle frame to a lamppost, whereas
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 xed under the saddle around the tube,
if your bicycle is not tted with a frame mounting. At a bicycle specialist
shop of your trust they will be pleased to advise you about the various
security categories of bicycle locks.
Always x the lock securely to the bicycle and do not let it hang
down the handlebars.
