5.4.1. Checking and Readjusting Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Check the lines and connections regularly for leaks while pulling on
the lever. If hydraulic oil or brake fluid leaks out, you should see your
STEVENS dealer immediately, as a leak can render your brakes ineffec-
tive.
Make sure you have always a clearly defined pressure point when pull-
ing the brake lever. If this is not the case, stop cycling and see your
STEVENS dealer immediately. The hydraulic disc brakes from Magura
and Shimano have a fully automated brake pad wear adjuster. It ensures
that the brake lever travel does not change with the wear of the brake
pads and there is therefore no need to readjust the brake. Check the
thickness of the brake pads regularly. The overall thickness of Magura
pads should not be less than 2.5 mm.
Check the pads for wear by inspecting the thickness of the braking ma-
terial attached to the backing plate within the brake calliper or view
through the window on the upper side of the calliper. If there is ap-
proximately 1mm of material left on each brake pad, remove the pads
according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions on the STEVENS
CD-ROM and check them thoroughly.
With a thickness of 0.5 mm (measured without holder) the brake pads
have to be replaced at the latest.

5.5. Back-Pedal Brakes
This type of brake is hardly found any more and only still common on city
and kids’ bicycles. The brake mechanism of this brake is fully enclosed
and mostly combined with a multi-speed hub.
This back-pedal brake is operated by pedalling backward. For maximum
braking force, step on one of the pedals in its rearmost position with the
cranks horizontal. With Sram models braking force is increased when
you have switched to a lower gear beforehand.
With back-pedal brakes the chain tension has to be checked regularly.
The amount of play, midway between chainring and sprocket, should
not be more than two centimetres.
The Brake System
Danger:
When you state a changed
pressure point when brak-
ing forcefully or when you
have to pump with the lever
repeatedly to achieve a
braking effect, stop cycling
and contact your STEVENS
dealer.
Danger:
Loose connections and
leaky brake lines drastically
impair braking effect. If
you find leaks in the brake
system or buckled lines,
contact your STEVENS
dealer. Risk of accident!
Danger:
Disc brakes can only be
mounted on bicycles with
a solid disc brake mount.
Do not use an adapter for
mounting.
Danger: Do not open the brake lines. Leaking out brake
fluid is very unhealthy and aggressive to the
coating.
Danger: Check regularly whether the brake torque arm is
firmly attached to the frame or fork.
