you getting around town over long distances as a complementary mode of transport to the car, train, public
transport allowing you to reduce any breaks in your route and save time. "the problem with public transport is that
it never takes you exactly where you want to go".
Journey: the foldable bike will follow you everywhere: caravan, boat, boot of a car. Stored in a small area, it's the
ideal companion for your itinerant leisure activities.
The foldable bike The ROAD BIKE: This is a light bike for fitness or competition use. The frame geometry is suited to each purpose:
fitness objective: stay in shape by using a light bicycle and gears adapted to your power, sport objective: discover
cycling alone or in groups on hilly rides. This bicycle’s frame geometry and components will give you a good ride,
competition objective: Take your training to a new level to work on your physique, and take part in competitions
using equipment approved at the highest level of competition. This bicycle, and particularly its braking system, is
designed for a maximum load of 100 kg (220 lbs). For example, for a bicycle weighing 13 kg (29 lbs and carrying 5
kg (11 lbs) of luggage, maximum user weight is 100 - 13 - 5 = 82 kg (181 lbs).
The road bike The BMX/SUBSIN: Specifically designed for acrobatic use. “Street” for stunts in town or a skate park. “Dirt” for stunt
jumps on dirt tracks. “Flat” for stunts on the ground. “Race course” for off-road circuits with bumps. We recommend
that you carefully identify your discipline before taking the plunge! This bicycle, and particularly its braking system,
is designed for a maximum load of 100 kg (220 lbs). For example, for a bicycle weighing 13 kg (29 lbs and carrying

These tools are essential for carrying out the different stages of bicycle assembly. You will find them useful for making all the
adjustments described in this manual.
advice
When riding and trekking by bike, we recommend you have at least the following equipment:
• a chain tool and a snap link designed for the bicycle’s original chain model
• an inner tube compatible with your tyres and wheel rims
• a tyre removal kit
• a multifunctional tool featuring at least the tools listed above
• a bicycle pump
C CLEANING
Your bicycle can very easily be cleaned with a sponge, a hose or soapy water.
The gear system components can be cleaned with a small brush.
D LUBRICATION
It is necessary to lubricate components to maximise your bicycle's performance and lifespan, and to avoid component corrosion. Use
special chain and cable lube for the cables and drive train parts. For the chain, it is better to use a specific oil. Immediately after
washing: dry and oil gear system components (derailleur, shifter), suspension parts, brake levers, caliper and brake mountsand the
chain. Check the chain and replace it if necessary (see the section entitled “maintenance checks"). To ensure proper sealing, grease the
seatpost and headset sufficiently. Cartridge-style bottom bracket shells do not need maintenance: they are sufficiently watertight to
keep them greased for the entire lifespan of the bracket. However, to avoid noises it may be necessary to grease the points where the
frame and the bracket meet.
advice
We recommend that you use OUR SELECTION: Degreasing kit and Teflon oil, grease.
STOP
Warning: All these operations should be undertaken regularly if you use your bicycle in a salty environment and before
prolonged storage.

G USING QUICK-RELEASE SYSTEMS
Quick-release maintains the wheels in position inside the frame and fork. For this to be effective, it is necessary to set the adjusting
nut (1) so as to produce a sufficient closing force on the quick-release lever (2) of at least 12 daN (approximately 26,45 lb (12 kg)). To
increase the closing force: turn the adjusting nut clockwise (anticlockwise to reduce the force).
Please note: in case of doubt, consult one of our in-shop technicians.

I BREAKING SYSTEM
1 – Using the brakes
To slow the bicycle down or stop it: use the back brake first and then lightly and gradually use the front brake.
An overly rapid and excessive braking movement may cause the front wheel to jam and cause a dangerous fall.
NB: if one of these conditions is not fulfilled, contact one of our technicians, who will return the system to normal.
STOP Warning
• The rims, disks and pads must never be treated with a lubricant or another greasy substance. If necessary, clean using an anti-static
polish. You are advised not to use solvents (which may damage the markings and the paintwork).
• For disk brakes and road bike brakes, consult the instructions in the manufacturer’s instructions for any modification or contact your
nearest workshop.
For the following types of brake:
V-Brakes, the metal pipe of the brake Cantilevers, the bridge cable with Calipers, the brake lever spacer must be

K ADJUSTING THE DERAILLEUR GEAR SYSTEM
These procedures are also difficult: we recommend you consult one of our qualified technicians.
NB: Problems when changing gear are very often linked to the derailleur cable tension; adjusting the derailleur travel
is much less common.

Adjusting the cable tension creates a link between a position on the gear lever and a position in the gear system.
Unscrew or tighten the cable tension screw at the lever or at the rear of the derailleur so that each lever position
corresponds to a cog:
If the chain does not move down every time you shift the lever.
• loosen the cable by turning the cable tension adjusting screw clockwise.

L ADJUSTING INTEGRAL GEAR SHIFTERS
IN THE HUB
(NEXUS SIMANO type)
Adjusting this type of gear shifter is very simple: refer to the specific instructions supplied with this manual.
N ADJUSTING SUSPENSION
Refer to the fork and suspension adjustments recommended by the manufacturer; see specific instructions supplied
with this manual.
ASSEMBLING ACCESSORIES
We recommend that you follow the specific assembly instructions supplied with the accessory.
STOP
Warning
• Check with a b’Twin retailer that accessories to be fitted to your bicycle are compatible with it.
• Check that all the elements of your bicycle work correctly when the accessory is fitted. The bicycle may respond
differently when accessories are fitted.
• Be particularly vigilant with accessories which may hinder wheel rotation, interact with a suspension frame in full
travel or change the shape of the frame using tightening devices.
• Racing bikes, full suspension MTBs and bicycles only equipped with disk brakes are not designed for child seats.
• The child seat may significantly affect your bicycle's stability. It is not permitted to attach a child seat directly to the
bike's seat post. Check that under no circumstances will any part of the child's body or clothing (laces, safety belts,
etc.) come into contact with any of the bicycle’s moving parts as this may cause injury or an
accident. It is recommended that child seats are fitted to bicycles with protective mud guards
so that the child's feet or hands do not get trapped between the spokes of the wheel.
Similarly, it is best to use a seat cover or a seat with internal springs so that children do not
trap their fingers in the springs.

• A kickstand is designed to support a non-loaded bicycle: never leave a child on a bicycle supported on a kickstand.
• There are holes on your frame for attaching a bottle-carrier. If there aren’t, use add-on attachments, fitted using an
elastomer strip available in our range of detachable parts.
• For rotors and pegs, see the assembly instructions supplied.
• You must not add bar-ends, unless the bicycle is sold with them already mounted.
• The use of aerodynamic add-ons on your handlebars can increase braking distance and a loss of stability on bends.
• The maximum authorised weight of baggage and accessories (child seat, panniers, etc) depends on the weight of
the user and the maximum authorised weight of the bike. Baggage weight should in no circumstances be greater
than the maximum indicated in your accessory’s instructions.
• To mount and set the tightening torques for aerodynamic add-ons (such as triathlon handlebars),
see specific instructions.
• When adding stabilisers, see the manufacturer's instructions for mounting and adjustment guidance.
