T
he Kevlar® pad on the BODY BIKE Synthetic Brake
has an expected durability of a minimum of 1500
hours, so eventually the brake pad will be worn. To
ensure that the brake pad is correctly mounted,
it has been pre-fitted to the block, and it is only
possible to purchase the complete brake block. Go
to page 30.
But most of the time, cleaning the Kevlar® pad is
enough to obtain a smooth ride again. See figure
17. If cleaning doesn’t help anymore follow the steps
below.
Inspect the Kevlar® brake pad after the first month
and thereafter every 3rd month. The Kevlar® brake
pad should be replaced before it is worn through
and reveal the black rubber.
To get to the brake block, it is necessary to remove
the service hatch. See figure 23.
1) Release tension completely on the brake. Coun-
terclockwise will loosen the resistance. See figure 8.
2) Remove the two screws holding the brake block
to the frame by using an 8 mm wrench, see figure
24.
