The right brake lever controls the rear brake and the left brake level controls the front brake.

The brake lever
should always be attached firmly to the handlebars. It should not touch the
handlebars when pressed. If this occurs, the brake cable must be tightened.
The brake
The brake
The brake
The brake
consists of two arms. Regularly check that the brake is correctly centred. If not, let a
professional carry out the adjustment. Every cyclist should be capable of a least basically adjusting the
brakes. Major repairs, such as tightening or replacing the cables, or replacing the brake pads, should be
entrusted to a servicing facility.
Correct brake functioning also depends on the condition of the wheels themselves. If there is play in
the wheels or if they are buckled and wobble to the sides or up and down when turned, they need to be
adjusted or trued. Truing the wheels is not easy – contact a professional. If the brake discs are buckled or
otherwise damaged, they must be replaced. The brake shoes (pads) will wear over time and must be
replaced. Excessive braking noise may be caused by inappropriate adjustment.

Pay attention to the following points:
•
Always test the brakes before going for a ride to make sure they are fully functional.
•
Press the brake levers while you are standing still, using more force than usual to exclude any
potential damage to the connecting elements or cables.
•
In the case of rim brakes, check that the brake shoes and rims are clean and are not contaminated
with lubricant (oil) residues or other greasy products. Check that the entire surface of the brake shoes
fits tightly to and encloses the rims and that it does not touch the sides of the tyres.
•
Check the brake shoes regularly, they should not be excessively or irregularly worn.
