SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If your brake system works with DOT brake fluid, the latter needs to be replaced regularly according to the intervals prescribed by the manufacturer.
Read in any case the manual of the brake manufacturer carefully before removing the wheel or doing any maintenance work. Improper operation can lead to brake failure.
Mechanical disc brakes Functional check
The more brake pads of mechanical disc brakes wear down, the longer is the brake lever travel. Regularly check whether you get a positive braking response before the lever touches the handlebars (c). Make sure the brake cables are in sound condition !
WARNING
Damaged cables (d) should be replaced immediately, as they can snap. Risk of accident!
Wear and maintenance
To a certain extent, wear of the brake pads can be compensated directly at the brake lever. Unscrew the knurled lock nut on the bolt through which the cable enters the grip (e) and then unscrew the bolt until the lever has the desired travel. Retighten the lock nut by taking care that the slot of the bolt does not face upward or forward, as this would permit an unnecessa- rily high amount of water or dirt to enter.
After readjusting check the functioning and make sure the brake pads do not drag when releasing the brake lever and spinning the wheel.
Repeated readjustment at the brake lever makes the arm on the brake calliper change its position. This can reduce braking power and result in a complete brake failure in an extreme case. Risk of accident!
