The Brake System
5.3. Checking and Readjusting Hydraulic Rim
Brakes
Hydraulic brakes are extremely powerful and require very little main-
tenance.
Check the pads regularly for wear and alignment. Indicators, i.e. usually
grooves in the pads, tell you whether the brake pads are worn down or
not. If the pads are worn down to the bottom of the grooves, it is time
to replace them.
Keep the brake callipers, especially the brake pad area, clean, as dirt can
prevent the pads from travelling back in their rest position. Regularly
check the lines and connections for leaks.
With hydraulic rim brakes, as well, the brake pads wear down and the le-
ver travel increases. Most brake models are, however, fitted with a bolt
or a small knob (TPA, Turbo Pad Adjuster, for tool less brake pad wear for
Magura HS33) at the control unit, brake lever to compensate the wear.
Danger:
Manufacturers of hydraulic
brakes deliver their products
with detailed operating
instructions. You nd these
instructions on the STEVENS
CD-ROM. Read them care-
fully before removing the
wheel or doing any mainte-
nance work. Misuse can lead
to brake failure or accidents!
Danger:
Loose connections and leaky
brake lines drastically impair
braking eect. If you find
leaks in the brake system
or buckled lines, contact
your STEVENS dealer. Risk of
accident!
