Brakes
Operating the knee lever locking brake
(compact brake)
To lock the brake, simply push the brake lever
forwards until it locks (Fig. 26). To release the
locking brake, simply pull the brake lever backwards
(Fig. 27).
Adjusting the knee lever locking brake
(compact brake)
If you notice that the braking effect is no longer
sufficient or is uneven, proceed as follows:
• Check the tyre profile depth. At the same
time, check for even wear of the tyres. If the
profile depth in the middle of the tread is less
than 1mm, the tyre must be changed. If you
have the necessary technical experience you
can change the tyre yourself, if you do not feel
confident to do this yourself, your specialist
retailer will be able to help you.
• Now check the adjustment of the brake. This
must be set such that the gap between the tyre
tread and the braking bolt with the brake open
is 15 mm (Fig.28). The braking bolt must be
horizontal, i.e. parallel to the ground surface.
• After unscrewing the two rounded head bolts
with 5mm Allen head on the brake mounting
(Fig. 29), you can position the brake correctly.
