5.3.1.2 Checking the condition of the brake pads
Check whether the wear
limit of the brake pads has
been reached.
If in doubt, ask your
specialist dealer to
check the wear limit of
the brake pads.
The brake pads must be changed before they have been worn
down to their wear limit.
Ask your specialist dealer to replace your brake pads and then
re-adjust the brake system.
Note: Not all brake pads have grooves as a wear limit indicator.
Ask your specialist dealer to explain the wear limits to you.
Check that there is still at least 1 cm of clearance between
the brake lever and the grip even when the brake lever is
fully deployed.
If the clearance is less than 1 cm, you should ask your
specialist dealer to adjust the brake system.
Check whether the brake shoes are wearing equally/wearing
down on both sides (visual inspection).
If the brake pads are wearing diagonally or unevenly,
you should have the brake system inspected by your
specialist dealer.
Check the brake pads for damage and heavy soiling
(visual check).

Clean the brake pads if they are heavily soiled.
If the brake pads are damaged, you should get them
replaced by your specialist dealer.
Check that the brake shoes are positioned to rub in the
centre of the rim’s flank.
The brake shoes should be positioned so that they follow
the curve of the rim as closely as possible.
Take hold of the brake shoes and check if they can be
turned.
If you can turn the brake shoes, have them adjusted by
your specialist dealer.
Check to see if the brake shoes move backwards and
forwards in the direction of the rims in an even and
symmetrical manner when you pull and release the brake
lever (visual inspection).
If the brake shoes move in an uneven fashion, have the
brake system checked by your specialist dealer.
