5.4.1. Functional Check
Check whether the brake pads are accurately aligned with the rims and
still sufficiently thick. You can tell this by the grooves in the brake pads.
If the pads are worn down, it is time to replace them.
Furthermore, the brake pads should touch the rim with their front part
first. At the moment of the first contact the rear part of the brake pad
should be a millimetre away from the rim. Seen from the top the brake
pads form a “V” with the trough pointing to the front. This V-shaped
setting prevents screeching when the brakes are applied.
When you pull the brake lever, both brake arms must contact the rim
simultaneously.
The brake lever must always remain clear of the handlebars. You
should not be able to pull it all the way to the handlebars, even in the
event of an emergency braking.
Only a successful passing of all these points will ensure a correctly ad-
justed brake.
5.4.2. Vertical Adjustment of the Brake Pads
Release the fastening bolt of the brake pad by one to at most two com-
plete turns.
Push the brake pad to the correct height and align it in a way that the
front part hits the rim before the rear part. Hold the brake pad in this
position. Retighten the fastening bolt of the brake pad to the recom-
mended torque value.
The Brake System
Danger:
Adjusting the position of the
brake pads relative to the
rims requires a considerable
degree of skill. Replacing and
adjusting the brake pads is a
job best left to your STEVENS
dealer.
