Some rims are provided with wear indicators. Once the abrasion of the rim
has reached a certain critical point, the brake indicator becomes visible in
form of small slots or a permanent strip or disappears (according to the
model). In this case you should also go and see your STEVENS dealer at
once and have your rim replaced.
If you have mounted carbon wheels, be sure to observe the informa-
tion given in chapter What to Bear in Mind When Braking With Carbon
Wheels“.
The Brake System
5.2. Checking, Readjusting and Synchronizing
Racing and/or Side-Pull Brakes
With side-pull brakes the brake arms are suspended from a common
point, thus forming an integral system. When actuating the brake lever,
both arms are tightened by the cable, the pads touch the rim.
5.2.1. Functional Check
Check whether the brake pads are accurately aligned with the rims and
still sufficiently thick.
Make sure both brake arms hit the rim simultaneously when pulling
the brake lever.
Do you get a clear-cut braking response in the case of an emergency
braking, and does the lever remain clear of the handlebars no matter
how hard you pull? A successful passing of all these points will ensure
a correctly adjusted brake.
5.2.2. Vertical Adjustment of the Brake Pads
Release the fastening bolt of the brake pad by one to at most two com-
plete turns.
Danger:
Wet weather, snow and ice
reduce your braking eect.
Be aware of longer stopping
distances when riding in
the rain!
Danger:
Damaged brake cables that
are for example frayed should
be replaced immediately, as
they can otherwise fail in
a critical moment, possibly
causing a crash.
Danger:
Please observe the unusual
brake behaviour of carbon
rims. A lack of practice and
unsuitable brake pads can
result in falls and damage to
the rim. Ask your STEVENS
dealer for help.
Note:
Clean the brake pads at
regular intervals.
Danger: When replacing brake pads, be sure to only use
marked brake pads matching your rim. Your
STEVENS dealer will be pleased to help you. Ensure that braking surfaces
are absolutely free of wax, grease and oil. Ask an expert to check the rims
at the latest when you are through your second set of brake pads or when
the wear indicators are visible. Worn down rims may make the inner tube
burst and result in a fall! Ask your STEVENS dealer for help.
