PART 2
Brake Power Modulators
Section A. Important Safety Information
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
Brake Power Modulators
Your bike may be equipped with a brake
modulator, a device installed between the front
brake lever and the front brake to reduce initial
front braking force. (Brake power modulators
are also used on the rear brake of some
bicycles.)
If a rider applies the front brake too strongly or
too suddenly, these devices can help reduce the
risk of locking the front wheel or throwing the
rider. Once the modulator device is bottomed
out, the front brakes have the same power, and
the same risks of overly hard use, as brakes
without a modulator. Modulators are a small
help in giving a rider more of a chance to react
correctly.
Modulators are not a substitute for practicing
and learning to brake correctly. See PART I,
SECTION 4.C.
WARNING
A brake modulator will not prevent wheel
lock up or being thrown o the bike due to
overly hard or fast or abrupt application of
the brakes.
It is important that you understand modulators
are not an intelligent, sophisticated system.
Modulators ARE NOT anti-lock braking
systems (ABS). Bicycle brake modulators are
not like ABS in a car. Unlike automotive ABS
there is not an intelligent system of sensors and
computer control. Unlike an ABS system in a car
you cannot just jam on the brakes and let the
system take over. There is no system to think or
act for you.
Some people, including sales people, may try to
explain brake modulators on bicycles by saying
that they are “like ABS”. This is misleading and
inaccurate.
We urge you to ask your retailer to confirm if
you have a brake modulator on your bike. We
urge you to ask your retailer to demonstrate
how it works. We urge you to work with the front
brake lever while standing still to understand
how it works. We urge you to read any brake and
brake modulator instructions that came with
your bike.
