Not all brakes are compatible with all types of levers. For any brake, be sure to use only
compatible levers such as those that come originally with the DPIE 3.
MECHANIC DISC BRAKE
The mechanic disc brake press the brake shoes/ pads on the disc placed on the front
hub instead of pressing the pads on the rim. The disc is fitted to the axle by bolts to the
left side. The brake works by a cable coming from the lever to the pincers. The brake
system is formed by:
Brake lever
Brake cable & casing
Brake pincers
Brake shoes / pads.
Disc
ATTENTION
:
The disc brake shoes can be very hot after using them,
please take care not to touch the disc on checking them.
INSPECTION
Squeeze the brake lever 5 times before riding. The levers must not touch the handlebar.
Ensure that there is no oil, grease or any other matter on the disc. The disc is part of the
braking system and should always be kept clean. Remove the brake shoes from the
pincers for in-depth cleaning. Do not use any clean products, degreasing liquids or
solvents to clean the disc. Use isopropyl alcohol.
Check once a month to ensure that the disc brakes are not worn down. If the brake pads
are less than 1mm thick, they will have to be changed. Check also to ensure that the
pads are correctly positioned: a distance between 0.25 and o.75 mm from the disc when
not using the brakes.. Turn the wheel while not pressing the brake lever. The pads
should touch the discs as little as possible..
See section: Torque Value
Check your brake cables once a month to ensure that they are not twisted or rusted, that
there are no broken threads or ends, and check their casings for cuts or wear. Substitute
any defective piece.
