Chain Tension - Moustache Lundi 27 Manual De Usario

When your luggage rack is loaded, the behavior of your bike will be affected. Weight is added
to the rear of the bike, and this will modify the handling and braking of your bike. In order to
keep a good level of balance on the bike, divide the load as evenly as possible on both sides
of the bike.
Take time to get used to how your bike behaves when loaded and adapt to this different feeling.
Also think to check the gap between the tire and mud guard when the bike is loaded. It should
always be a minimum of 6mm.
If you wish to mount a child carrier or a trailer on your luggage rack, ask your retailer for advice.
He/she will be able to inform you which will be compatible with your racks. When you attach
paniers to your rack, ensure it is solidly fixed and don't leave any straps loose as these risk
getting trapped in the wheels and causing a fall.
Note that any paniers fixed to the rack should not conceal lights and reflectors.
Regularly check that the screws holding your luggage racks are tight in order to avoid any
unwanted incidents. Hold the rack and try to move it forward and back in order to check that
all fixation points are tightly attached.
Fixation points for luggage racks :
• Models equipped with batteries fixed in the frame or on the frame:
These luggage racks have 2 screws attaching them to the frame and 2 attaching
them to the rear mud guard (Figure 35).

N.B. : Our luggage racks are equipped with a fixation system for QL3 panniers, so for example
the Moustache by Ortlieb pannier or any other compatible pannier can be attached.

4.7.3 Transporting children or a load
Before riding on your Moustache when it is loaded or carrying a child in a child seat, you should
always check several points:
• The pannier or child seat should be
correctly installed.
• The child should be correctly strapped in
according to the recommendations by the
manufacturer of the seat, and wearing a
helmet.
• The load should be shared evenly across
the bike.
• The bags and load should not be able to
slide or move.
• The load should not be greater than the
total authorized weight.
• Nothing should be able to become
trapped between the spokes in the wheel,
nor obscure the lights and the reflectors.
Your approved Moustache retailer will be able to advise you for the purchase of an accredited
child carrier that is compatible with your Moustache bike.

4.8 CHAIN TENSION

The chain on your Moustache is kept taut thanks to a chain tensioner situated by your rear
derailleur. This should be checked regularly to ensure it is functioning correctly.
To do this:
• Use your index finger to push the tensioner several centimeters towards the front
of the bike.
• Remove your finger and check that it comes back to its initial position.
If the chain is loose and/or the tensioner does not go back to its initial position, go to your local
approved retailer to have it repaired.

WARNING!
When you are transporting a child
on a child seat, always ensure that
the child is not able to trap his/her
fingers or feet in any moving parts
of the bike (wheel, suspension seat
post, spring on the saddle). There is
risk of serious injury!
Do not leave the child in the child
seat when you put the bike on its
kick-stand.
