must be 2 mm. When brake pads are slightly worn out and the distance from rim is more than
2 mm you can regulate this distance by red adjusting screw on brake lever. Brake pads move
closer to rim when red adjusting screw is turning in „+” direction, brake pads move away from
rim by turning red adjusting screw in „–“ direction. When red adjusting screw is turned all way in
it is time to change worn out pads for new one.
BRAKE PADS CHANGE
Before brake pads change turn red adjusting screw all way in towards „–“ mark. Then release
quick release lever on brakes and disassembly wheel. Worn out pads pull out from holder and
load new Magura pads. Assembly wheel back to fork and fix brakes by quick release mechanism.
BRAKE LEVER DISTANCE SET UP
Brake lever distance from handle bar is regulated by 2 mm Allen screw on brake lever. Lever
moves closer to handle bar by turning screw clockwise, lever move away from handle bar by
turning screw counter clockwise.
IMPORTANT WARNING
Before each ride check if braking system of your bicycle is operating properly. Pay
attention when braking on wet surface - braking distance of your bike gets longer! Always
use both brakes simultaneously when braking.
Check regularly before ride:
•
if brake hoses and their joints are undamaged
•
if brake pads and rims are not worn out
WARNING
Never touch rims after long braking. Rims are heated by braking and they could cause skin
burns. Brake pads and rims must be not contaminated by oil or other lubricant! Dirty brake
surfaces reduce braking efficiency and could result in injury.
Decontaminate brake pads
and rims by warm water with detergent or by other degreasing solution like benzin or isopropyl
alcohol. We recommend you to visit qualified service centre if any problems with hydraulic rim
brakes occur.
FRONT AND REAR WHEEL
It is necessary to check and tighten regularly end nuts by which bicycle wheels are secured to the
forks.
If wheels are secured by a quick release system they must be checked before each ride
to be sure that wheels are secured correctly. Lever of quick release system must be in position
CLOSE.
Quick release system enables easy and fast assembling and disassembling of wheels without
using tools. Check before ride if wheels are centred in forks. Tighten quick release nut so much that
lever will put up resistance when closing. When quick release system is closed to the secured position
it must push closer both fork ends.
Move quick release lever only to the sides to reach its position
OPEN or CLOSE. Never turn closed quick release system it could be damaged!
Torque tightening values:
M10 nut of hub axle
30 - 40 Nm
Check the wheel hubs periodicaly, mainly after ride in wet and muddy conditions. The hub axle
should rotate without any friction and loose. If it does not, even after axle‘s cones and safety
nut set-up, it is necessary to disassemble the hub, clean bearing rings and balls, lubricate them
with a new grease, assemble and set up the hub again. If you are not skilled enough to do that,
we advise you to contact a special bike service.
RIMS
Check before each ride if wheels are centred correctly and rims are not damaged. There could
appear grooves and cracks by using bicycle or they could be caused by blast. Side areas of
rim are getting worn up by braking. There is security system on each rim side which indicates
deformation on side of rim. Bent side area of rim is mark of worn up which causes self-acting
braking. Riding such damaged rims is dangerous and damaged rim must be replaced!
TIRES
Never ride on over or under inflated tires. Respect recommended pressures, which are shown
on sides of each tire. Calculation of pressure measurement units mentioned on tires follows:
100kPa = 14.22 P.S.I. = 1 bar = 1 at
In case of puncture replace always damaged tube by new one with the same parameters like the
old one. Parameters are marked on each tube or on sides of tire.
FRAME AND FORK
Check regulary if the frame and fork of your bike are not damaged. Damage of the frame or fork is mainly
caused by accidents and falls. Stop using such damaged frame or fork, otherwise you risk serious injury!
SUSPENSION FORK
If bicycle is equipped with suspension fork respect following instructions:
COMPRESSION SETUP
1. SPRING FORK
Fork compression setup unit is placed in upper part of right fork leg. Fork with suspension lock
out (Speed Lock) has compression setup unit placed on left fork leg. Turn compression setup
unit clockwise to set up higher rigidity of fork, by turning it counter clockwise the rigidity of
fork decreases.
