Brake system
Are you familiar with the brake system (Fig. 17)? On your CS, the left-side
brake lever actuates the front wheel brake. The right-side brake lever actu-
ates the rear wheel brake.
Have a look at the service book and check whether you can actuate the
front wheel brake with the same brake lever (right or left) you are used to.
Make sure that the assignment of the brake levers to the brakes (Fig. 18)
is the same on all your bicycles.
If this is not the case, have the brakes modified by your Ca Go dealer be-
fore you set off for the first time!
Modern brakes may have a much stronger braking effect than your previ-
ous brake. Be sure to first practise using the brakes on a level surface with
good grip in an area free of traffic. Slowly approach higher brake perfor-
mances and speeds.
