Disc brakes require a bedding-in time to wear in
the discs and pads . The braking system only de-
livers its full performance after around 10 braking
cycles from 30 km/h . The braking force increases
during this time . Consider this during the entire
duration of the wearing-in period .
This wearing-in period is also required after re-
placing the brake pads or discs .
Pay attention to any unusual noise when braking,
as this could be a sign that the brake pads have
worn down to the wear limit . Check the thickness
of the brake pads once the brakes have cooled
down .
If necessary, have the brake pads replaced .
Please do not touch the brake disc while
it is rotating. You can suffer serious inju
-
ries if your finger is caught in the gaps of
a rotating brake disc .
The brake calliper and disc may get hot
during braking .
You could suffer burns if you touch this
part during or directly after braking .
Have the brake disc replaced if it is worn out or
bent . This replacement procedure must be car-
ried out by a FLYER specialist retailer .
Air bubbles in disc brakes
You can avoid this problem by applying
the brake lever before transport and then
fixing it in this position using a strap.
This prevents any air from entering the
hydraulic system . Please note that the
brake lever may not be pulled when the
wheel has been removed . Place a spac-
er between the brake blocks if you need
to remove the wheel .

Hydraulic rim brakes
As the brake pads wear, the path of the hand
lever increases . When this happens, you may
have to adjust the rim brakes . As is the case for
most bike models, this can be done by adjusting
a screw or a setting wheel on the brake lever . Ask
your FLYER specialist retailer for details .

brakes, brake by pushing the pedals backwards
instead of forwards . This means that your bicycle
