7.8 Inspecting the brakes
DANGER Danger from serious falls
Failing brakes always lead to dangerous riding situations, falls and accidents. A brake malfunction is a
serious danger to safety.
Pay particular attention when checking your brake system.
Under no circumstances should you continue using your bike if it has any defects. Contact your specialist
workshop immediately if you discover any defects.
NOTE:
During prolonged tours over several days the brake disc and brake pads can become severely worn.
You should plan tours lasting several days in such a way that you can have any necessary servicing work
carried out at specialist workshops.
As a precaution you should carry brake linings for your brakes with you. If you do this you will avoid having
to break off your tour if the specialist workshop does not have your type of brake linings in stock.
7.8.1 Checking general functions
How to check the function of your braking system:
1. Pull on both brake levers completely with the bike at a standstill. The smallest distance between the
brake lever and handlebar grip must be at least 10 mm.
2. Try to push the bike with both brakes applied. Both wheels must remain locked.
7.8.2 Checking the hydraulic disc brake
WARNING Danger from falls and accidents
Oil and grease on the brake discs can reduce the braking effect and lead to dangerous riding situations,
falls and accidents.
Soiled brake discs must be cleaned immediately, see section 14.2, How to clean and care for your bike.
1. Carry out a visual inspection of the screw connections of the entire braking system. All screws must be
tight.
2. Pull the brake calliper alternately in all directions with your hands. The brake calliper must not move.
3. Pull the respective brake lever with the bike at a standstill and hold the brake lever in this position.
