7.5 Brakes
Check cables for signs of wear and fraying.
Squeeze the brake lever firmly and check
for proper brake function. Ensure rotors
are free of foreign substances and oils.
Brake pads should never be worn down
to their limit, replace as necessary. Should
your brake pads appear to be worn down
or your brakes are not as responsive as
they used to be, ask your A2B dealer to
check and replace brake pads. Brakes lose
effectiveness when wet.
If riding in wet weather is unavoidable,
remember that stopping your A2B will
require extra distance. Ride slower, keep a
larger gap between you and other traffic,
and begin braking sooner than normal.
Failure to take these precautions could
lead to an accident causing serious or fatal
injury and/or property damage. If you are
uncertain about any aspect of the brake
operation, ask your A2B dealer.
Brake discs and brake pads must be
free of oil and grease.
7.6 Tyres
Check tyres for any damage, cracking,
unusual or excessive wear. The tyre should
be properly seated in the rim and the
fit of the tyre bead in the rim should be
periodically checked. Check for foreign
objects in the tyre tread and that the valve
stem is straight in the rim. Damaged or
worn tyres should be replaced immediately.
Take your A2B to an A2B dealer or a
qualified bicycle mechanic to repair and/or
replace your tyres if necessary.
In the unlikely event of having a flat tyre you
need to know the correct procedure for
removing and re-installing the front or rear
wheel.
