NOTE:
In the UK and Japan, brakes are aligned
differently. The right lever controls the
front brake while the left lever controls
the rear brake. All brakes should be
adjusted according to local regulations.
NOTE:
Do not allow oil or lubrication to touch
your brake pads or rims’ braking surfaces.
When replacing worn brake shoes, please
use factory authorized brake replacements.

How Brakes Work
Riding with improperly adjusted brakes or
worn brake pads is hazardous. This can
result in a serious injury or death. Applying
the brakes too hard or abruptly can lock up
a wheel, which could cause you to lose
control and fall. Sudden or excessive
application of the front brake may throw the
rider over the handlebars, which could also
result in injury or death.
A number of bicycle brakes, such as disc
brakes and linear-pull brakes are extremely
powerful. Please take extra care when using
them. Disc brakes can overheat with extended
use; be careful not to touch a disc brake until
it has completely cooled down. See the
manufacturer’s instructions for operation and
care for your brakes or call your dealer.
It is very important to learn and remember
which brake lever controls which brake.
Your bike comes pre-set and adjusted; the
right brake lever controls the rear brake
and the left lever controls the front brake.
Check to make sure your hands can reach
and squeeze the brake levers.
The function of a rim-actuated brake on a
bicycle is to cause friction between the brake
surface (usually the brake pads) and the
wheel rim. Keep your wheel rims and brake
pads clean and free of dirt, lubricants, waxes
or polishes for maximum friction. An important
bicycle brake is the disc brake. To install a
disc brake, you must use special disc brake
mounts on the frame and fork, as well as
special hubs. These brakes are small and rely
heavily on brake pads that squeeze from both
sides of a small disc rotor that is mounted on
each wheel. Disc brakes are quite resistant to
weather and provide great stopping ability on
steep hills or on wet terrain.
Brakes are designed to stop or control the
speed of your bike. The maximum braking
force on each wheel will occur right before
the wheel “locks up” (stops rotating) and
starts to skid. Once a tire skids, you will lose
your ability to slow down as well as control
of direction.
