Examples Of Improper Handling - Rohloff Gates SPEEDHUB 500/14 Manuel D'utilisation

Please note
Please be aware that use of the Gates Carbon Drive system in ice and snow, can lead to the
teeth of the pulleys becoming clogged. This can lead to the belt being pushed off of the
pulley, or lifted up and ratcheting over it. Both of these possibilities could reduce the safe
operation of the system. For this reason, the use of the bike in snow and ice should be avoided.
The use of the system in clay based mud should also be avoided for the same reasons.
