lar check with brake lever operates

Modern brakes have a very power-
ful braking effect. Excessively strong
operation of the brake levers can
cause the respective wheel to lock
and can therefore lead to a fall.
Familiarise yourself slowly with the
braking effect on your bike in a safe
area of land.

With new rim brakes and after re-
placing brake blocks the full braking
effect only develops after a certain
run-in period. Please note there-

permanent razing brakes, following
2 hard braking procedures from a
speed of approximately 30 KPH ( ...
19 miles per hour)
