Crash caused by brake failure
Oil or lubricant on the
brake rotor
in a disc
brake or on the rim of a rim brake can cause
the brake to fail completely. This may cause a
crash with serious injuries.
 Never allow oil or lubricant to come into
contact with the
brake rotor
or
brake pads
or
on the rim of a rim brake.

If the
brake pads
have come into contact with
oil or lubricant, contact specialist dealer to
have the components cleaned or replaced.
If the brakes are applied continuously for a long
time (e.g. while riding downhill for a long time),
the fluid in the brake system may heat up. This
may create a vapour bubble. This will cause air
bubbles or water contained in the brake system to
expand. This may suddenly make the lever travel
wider. This may cause a crash with serious
injuries.

Release the brake regularly when riding
downhill for a longer period of time.
