Mechanical disc brakes
Functional check
The more brake pads of mechanical disc brakes wear down, the longer is the
brake lever travel. Regularly check whether you get a positive braking response
before the lever touches the handlebars (a). Make sure the brake cables are in
sound condition!
WARNING
Damaged cables should be replaced immediately, as they can snap. Risk of
accident!
Wear and maintenance
To a certain extent, wear of the brake pads can be compensated directly at the
additional brake lever, if mounted. Unscrew the knurled lock nut on the bolt
through which the cable enters the grip and then unscrew the bolt (b) until the
lever has the desired travel. Retighten the lock nut by taking care that the slot of
the bolt does not face upward or forward, as this would permit an unnecessarily
high amount of water or dirt to enter.
As an alternative, the cable can be retightened directly at the brake in the same
way.
After readjusting check the functioning and make sure the brake pads do not
drag when releasing the brake lever and spinning the wheel.
Repeated readjustment at the brake lever makes the arm on the brake calliper
change its position. This can reduce braking power and result in a complete
brake failure in an extreme case. Risk of accident!
Some models offer further ways of adjusting the brakes directly at the brake
calliper, though this requires a certain amount of skill (c). Read the manual of the
brake manufacturer carefully before adjusting the brake. If you are in doubt or if
you have any questions, contact your SCOTT dealer.
WARNING
Repeated readjustment at the brake cable can drastically reduce the maxi-
mum braking performance.
