Guidelines for Using Brakes
To get the best performance and service life from the brake system, understand and apply the following
techniques:
•
In wet conditions, which reduces friction, always provide additional distance for braking and
adjust how quickly you apply the brakes.
•
When applying the brakes, particularly the front brake, use a lower pressure to start with until
you feel the brakes starting to "bite", then increase pressure as required. Do NOT over-apply the
brakes and cause the wheel to stop rotating
–
this may result in loss of control.
•
Maintain the brake friction components (pads, shoes, rubbers) in good condition and replace
when they reach the wear limit.
•
Maintain brake adjustment so that the brakes perform effectively, the levers are comfortably
positioned, and there is not excessive play in adjustable components.
•
If the brakes are not performing effectively, making abnormal noise or any part is not serviceable
or cannot be adjusted correctly, have the brakes inspected and adjusted by a bicycle mechanic or
suitably qualified person.
•
If the brake cables become frayed or otherwise damaged, have them replaced by a bicycle
mechanic or suitable qualified person.
