Some models offer further ways of adjusting the brakes directly at the brake calliper (f), though this requires a certain amount of skill. Read the instructions of the brake manufacturer carefully before adjusting the brake. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, contact your URBAN JUNGLE dealer.
WARNING
Repeated readjustment at the brake cable can drastically reduce the maximum braking performance.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
ROLLER, DRUM AND BACK-PEDAL BRAKES
These types of brakes have an enclosed design; brake pads and surfaces inside the hub body are largely protected against the influences of the weather. The braking force is transmitted through cables from the levers to the brakes. As rear brakes they are mostly connected to an internal gear hub (a) and sometimes they are operated by back pedalling.
With back-pedal brakes maximum braking force is achieved by stepping on one of the pedals in its rearmost position with the cranks horizontal (b). With internal gear hubs from SRAM braking power is increased when having shifted to a lower gear.
The risk of overheating is particularly high with these brake systems. Brake overheating occurs on prolonged (steep) downhill rides with permanent brake dragging. Brake fading is a result thereof which, in extreme cases, can lead to brake failure.
