may pitch the rider over the
handlebars, which may result in
serious injury or death.
3. Some bicycle brakes, such as
disc brakes (g. 11) and linear-
pull brakes (g. 12), are extremely
powerful. Take extra care in
becoming familiar with these
brakes and exercise particular care
when using them.
4. Some bicycle brakes are
equipped with a brake force
modulator, a small, cylindrical
device through which the brake
control cable runs and which
is designed to provide a more
progressive application of braking
force. A modulator makes the
initial brake lever force more
gentle, progressively increasing
force until full force is achieved.
If your bike is equipped with a
brake force modulator, take extra
care in becoming familiar with
its performance characteristics.
Some brake force modulators
are adjustable. If you don't like
the feel of your brakes, ask your
dealer about adjusting the brake
force modulation.
5. Disc brakes can get extremely
hot with extended use. Be careful
not to touch a disc brake until it
has had plenty of time to cool.
6. See the brake
manufacturer’s instructions
for operation and care of your
brakes, and for when brake
pads must be replaced. If you
do not have the manufacturer’s
instructions, see your dealer or
contact the brake manufacturer.
7. If you are replacing worn
or damaged parts, use only
manufacturer-approved genuine
replacement parts.
1. Brake controls and features
It’s very important to your safety that you learn and
remember which brake lever controls which brake on
your bike. Traditionally, in the U.S. the right brake lever
controls the rear brake and the left brake lever controls
the front brake; but, to check how your bike’s brakes are
set up this way, squeeze one brake lever and look to see
which brake, front or rear, engages. Now do the same
with the other brake lever.
Make sure that your hands can reach and squeeze the
brake levers comfortably. If your hands are too small to
operate the levers comfortably, consult your dealer before
riding the bike. The lever reach may be adjustable; or you
may need a different brake lever design.
Most rim brakes have some form of quick-release
mechanism to allow the brake pads to clear the tire when
a wheel is removed or reinstalled. When the brake quick
release is in the open position, the brakes are inoperative.
Ask your dealer to make sure that you understand the
way the brake quick release works on your bike (see gs.
12, 13. 14 & 15) and check each time to make sure both
brakes work correctly before you get on the bike. 21
