Due to its improved design, the V-brake achieves excellent
braking values under dry and wet conditions, but holds certain
risks, especially for inexperienced cycle riders. You can lose
control over your cycle if you apply the brake in the wrong way.
Practice applying this brake, particularly if you are a beginner.
Ride slowly at first and use the brake lever carefully to familiarize
yourself with the response of the brakes.
Coaster brake hub
The coaster brake hub is a rear wheel brake that is activated
when you pedal backwards. You must practice a little to get the
hang of when the brake is triggered.
Use the second brake, i.e., the front wheel brake alternately
during long and steep rides, so that the rear wheel brake can
cool down! Very intense heating of the back pedal hub leads to
loss of lubricant! Re-lubrication is necessary! The brake body
of a back pedal brake is also subject to wear and tear depending
on the usage and must be replaced accordingly. Let the dealer
execute such jobs.
Hand brakes
Check the smooth functioning of the brakes before each trip.
Contact the dealer if you detect slackening of the braking effect!
The brake shoe or shoes are labelled. Always use spare parts of
the same label.
V-brake
This brake is activated by pulling the brake lever at the handle
bar of your cycle. Two brake shoes act on the rim edges.
Caution!
Risk of fall and injury when applying the brake
suddenly in emergency situations!
Please contact your dealer to learn how to adjust the braking
power and study the relevant instruction leaflet of the
manufacturer.
