Warning
New brake pads have to be bedded in before they reach their optimal brak-
ing performance. For this purpose, accelerate your CS 30 to 50 times to
around 25 km/h (15.5 mph) and brake to standstill. This procedure is fin-
ished, when the force required at the lever for braking has stopped decreas-
ing.
Warning
Dirty brake pads and rotors can lead to drastically reduced brake force.
Therefore, make sure that the brake remains free of oil and other fluids,
especially when you clean your CS or grease the chain. Dirty brake pads can
under no circumstances be cleaned, they must be replaced! Rotors can be
cleaned with special brake cleaners and with a clean absorbing cloth or with
warm water and detergent.
Warning
Unusual noises (scratching, chafing etc.) during braking and/or a noticea-
ble change of the brake force (more or less powerful) are indications that
the brake pads are soiled or worn down. Check the brake pads and replace
them, if necessary. Otherwise you risk further damage, e.g. to the rotor, or
even an accident due to brake failure! If you are not absolutely sure or have
any inquiries, contact your Ca Go dealer.
Caution
Disc brakes get hot in use. For this reason do not touch the rotors directly
after stopping, especially after a long downhill ride.
