Brakes: 

IMPORTANT:

 Braking with carbon rims at slow speed may cause a shuddering sensation. Only 

use Giant recommended brake pads for carbon rims. Other pads may not provide sufficient brake 

performance and could overheat the rim, causing the carbon fibers to delaminate. Failure to follow 

this may lead to personal injury and void of your warranty. Consult an authorized GIANT dealer 

for recommended brake pads. 

 

 

CAUTION

: Do not use latex inner tubes on carbon rims for rim brakes, these can get hot 

during  hard  braking,  latex  tubes  do  not  withstand  heat  well  which  can  cause  a  tire  to  deflate 

suddenly. Failure to comply with this recommendation can void the warranty and may result in 

danger. Consult an authorized GIANT dealer for recommended inner tubes.

 

 

1. Check the compatibility of the brakes, especially the brake interface of the frame, fork and 

wheel. Mount the brake set and its components to the manufacturer’s recommendations. 

2. When 

mounting 

and 

adjusting  rim  brake  pads, 

please ensure to position the 

pads  at  least  3mm  from  the 

rim edge (Fig. 10). Mounting 

closer  to  the  rim  edge  may 

result  in  overheating  during 

continuous 

braking 

or 

damage to the carbon fiber. W rong adjustment of brake pads will void the warranty. 

3. The installation of 6-bolts type disc brake rotor is shown in Fig. 11. Please follow the disc brake 

manufacturer’s instruction for rotor installation.   

4.   The installation of center lock type disc brake rotor is shown in Fig. 12. Please follow the 

disc brake manufacturer’s instruction for rotor installation.     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION:   

  Rims for disc brake wheels are designed to be used with disc brakes only. Do not install rim 

brake to disc brake wheel.
