8.5 Brakes
Check cables or oil pipes for signs of wear and fraying. If
your A2B is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes additionaly
check for signs of oil leakage.
Squeeze the brake lever firmly and check for proper
brake function.
Ensure rotors are free of foreign substances and oils.
Brake pads should never be worn down to their limit,
replace as necessary.
Should your brake pads appear to be worn down or your
brakes are not as responsive as they used to be, ask your
A2B dealer to check and replace brake pads.Brakes lose
effectiveness when wet.
Avoid riding in wet weather. If it is unavoidable, remember
that stopping your A2B will require extra distance.
Ride more slowly, keep a greater interval between yourself
and other traffic, and begin braking sooner than normal.
Failure to take these precautions could lead to an accident
causing serious or fatal injury and/or property damage.
If you are uncertain about any aspect of the brake
operation under any condition, ask your A2B dealer.
Brake disks and brake linings must be free of oil and
grease.

excessive wear. The tire should be properly seated in
the rim and the fit of the tire bead in the rim should be

Take your A2B to an A2B dealer or a qualified bicycle
mechanic to repair and/or replace your tires if necessary.
