5 Brake
5.1 Basics
The cycle is equipped with at least two independent brakes. Depending on the cycle mod-
el, the following brakes may be installed:
Coaster brake
Rim brake
Disc brake
5.1.1 Coaster brake
Cycles with hub shifting systems and cycles
without gear shifting systems are frequently
equipped with a coaster brake. This is inte-
grated in the cycle’s rear wheel hub and oper-
ated using the pedals (see “Illustr.: Coaster
brake”).
5.1.2 Brake lever
The brakes are operated using the brake levers. Force is transmitted mechanically or hy-
draulically. In the case of a mechanical design, the force from the brake lever is transmit-
ted to the brake via a cable. In the case of a hydraulic design, the force from the brake lever
is transmitted to the brake via brake lines which contain brake fluid.
If the cycle is equipped with just one brake lever, this operates the front brake. The rear
brake is the coaster brake.
If the cycle is equipped with two brake levers,
the left-hand brake lever is generally for the
front brake while the right-hand brake lever is
for the rear brake (see “Illustr.: Brake lever ar-
rangement”).
xNote that the arrangement of the brake
levers may vary. Familiarise yourself with
the brake lever arrangement before set-
ting off. Contact your dealer if you would
like to have the brake lever arrangement
changed.
