BRAKES
GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE BRAKES
Brakes (a+b) are used to adjust your speed to the surrounding terrain and
traffic. In an emergency situation, the brakes must bring the bicycle to a halt as
quickly as possible.
Practise braking with your child on a road free of traffic and instruct him/her to
get used to actuating both brakes simultaneously, as due to the weight transfer
the front brakes can generate a far better braking effect.
The braking conditions on unpaved surfaces differ, i.e. overbraking the front
wheel can make the wheel slip away. Therefore, be sure to practise braking on
different kinds of surfaces.
DANGER!
G
Practise braking with your child cautiously on wet and slippery roads, as
the tyres can easily slip away. Therefore, instruct him/her to reduce the
speed in general when riding in these conditions.
DANGER!
G
Make sure your child gets carefully familiar with the brakes. Practise emer-
gency stops with your child in a place free of traffic until he/she are com-
fortable controlling his/her bicycle.
RIM BRAKES
V-Brakes and cantilever brakes
Operation and wear
V-brakes and cantilever brakes (c) have two brake arms mounted separately on
either side of the rim. When actuating the brake lever, both arms are pressed
together by the cable (d), the pads touching the rim.
The friction generated by braking causes wear to the brake pads as well as to
the rims. Frequent rides of your child in the rain and dirt and over hilly terrain
can accelerate wear on both braking surfaces.
Some rims are provided with wear indicators, e.g. grooves or circular indenta-
tions. If the rim is worn down to the point where the grooves or indentations are
no longer visible, they need to be replaced. Once the abrasion of the rim has
reached a certain critical point, the rim may break under the tyre pressure. This
can make the wheel jam or the inner tube burst, both of which can cause an
accident! Risk of an accident!
Functional check
Check whether the brake pads are accurately aligned with the rims and still suf-
ficiently thick. You can usually judge the wear of the brake pads by the appear-
ance of grooves.
If the pads are worn down to the bottom of the grooves (e), it is time to replace
them. Be sure to observe the appropriate instructions of the respective manu-
facturer.
See your SCOTT dealer and ask them to examine the remaining thickness of the
rims when your child has worn through his/her second set of brake pads at the
latest. Your bicycle dealer has special measuring devices for determining the
remaining thickness of the rims.
The brake pads must hit the rim simultaneously, first touching it with the front
portion of their surface. At the moment of first contact the rear portion of the
pads should be a millimetre away from the braking surface.
Viewed from the top the brake pads form a “V“ with the trough pointing to the
front. This setting is to prevent the brake pads from screeching when applied.
The brake levers must always remain clear of the handlebars. You should
not even be able to pull them all the way to the handlebars in the event of an
emergency stop. If this is the case, however, observe the following the chapter
“Synchronising and readjusting”.
A correctly adjusted brake is only ensured if all of these checks have been made
successfully.
DANGER!
G
Brake cables which are damaged, e.g. frayed (f), must be replaced imme-
diately, as they can otherwise fail in a critical moment, possibly causing a
crash!
