Incorrect operation of the brakes can
lead to hazardous riding situations, fall-
ing, accidents and material damage.
If the lever is pressed into its stop po-
sition the wheel is not secured tightly
enough and can become displaced dur-
ing riding or loosen.
There is a danger of falling.
S
Open the lever again and turn the
nut counter-clockwise again as nec-
essary.
If the lever can only be moved when
great force is applied or if it cannot be
moved at into its stop position all (=90°
to the hub axis), do not under any cir-
cumstances leave the lever in this po-
sition.
Because of the eccentric bearing it can
loosen itself when the bike is ridden.
There is a serious danger of falling.
S
Open the lever again and turn the
nut counter-clockwise again as nec-
essary.
S
Check that the wheels are seated
firmly as described in Chapter 6.1.1
Special types:
Many wheels are secured with knock-
out spindles or by a combination of
knock-out spindles and quick-release
lever. Please read their operation de-
tails in the accompanying fork manufac-
turer’s instructions.

using click-in pedals (optional)

Click-in pedals are not safety pedals.
If an excessive release force is set it
is possible not to be able to twist the
shoes out of the pedal quick enough in
an emergency situation.
If too soft a release force is set the
shoe may possibly release from the
pedal unintentionally when riding.
In either case there is an increased dan-
ger of falling and injury
S
Familiarise yourself with use of the
click-in pedals.
S
Practice mounting and dismounting
with the pedals when not moving. Sit
on the saddle and hold tight onto
a stable object with one hand. Click
both shoes alternately in and out.
Please consult your dealer.
S
Familiarise yourself with the release
on careful practice rides.
S
Discover for yourself the optimum
tightness setting.
S
Practice mounting and dismounting
at various release settings.
S
You can find adjustment of the re-
lease setting in the accompanying
component instructions and/or con-
sult your dealer.
In unpredictable traffic situations and on
difficult terrain it is often necessary to
„click out“ with one or even both shoes.
S
Practice this with both feet alter-
nately.
S
When pedalling place your shoe
centrally on the pedal so that you
don‘t click in.
If need be you can then support
yourself with one or both legs on
the ground.
