(oils, greases etc.) come into contact with
your brake discs or pads. Such traces imme-
diately reduce the efficiency of your brakes. If
your brakes are contaminated with lubricants,
the brake discs must be cleaned thoroughly
as soon as possible, it may also be necessa-
ry to replace the brake pads.
Wet conditions increase the danger of sliding
or skids. Take a longer braking distance into
account!
Check the brakes
Comprehensive instructions on the disk brakes
are included in the documentation. Read these
instructions very carefully before taking off a
wheel or performing any maintenance work.
Check the hoses and connections regularly for
any leaks. If hydraulic oil leaks out, immediately
call on a specialist dealer, because a leak can
make the brakes ineffective. Check if you can
attain a definite pressure point.
Check the wear on the pads regularly in the
viewing panel of the brake calliper. Pull the
brake lever and check if the mounting plate of
the pad comes close to the disk. Although, in
principle, the pad material can be fully used up,
it is recommended that the pads are changed
in time. On longer rides the worn-out pads can
damage the brake disk.
Brake lever
Brake levers that can be squeezed through all
the way to the handlebar grip, or worn brakes,
can lead to insufficient braking efficiency and
prevent you stopping in time to avoid falls or
accidents in which you and/or other persons
may be injured.
Please make sure your brakes function correctly
before every ride.
Rubbing brakes
If your brake blocks rub against the disc while
riding, please check the following potential
causes:
The braking system is insufficiently „run-in“.
Check whether your wheel is seated correctly
in its axle mounting.
Check whether your wheel quick-releases are
secure.
Check the gap between the brake pads and
the brake discs.
Permanent rubbing of the brake pads can
lead to overheating and a reduction of braking
efficiency. The brakes are an essential safety-
relevant component of your bike. Malfunctions
can lead to serious accidents. For matters con-
cerning your brakes, please consult a qualified
professional workshop.
Road bike brakes
Wear on the rubber brake pads may lead to
misalignment of the pads on your rims. To avoid
risks, it is necessary that you regularly check
the alignment of the brake shoes to the rims.
There must always be a safety distance of 1-2
mm to the bottom edge of the rim. The top edge
(close to the tyre) requires a safety distance of
1mm. Check for wear and correct alignment of
the brake shoes, and replace the blocks in good
time, to ensure safe braking at all times.
