Checking the disc brake
• Check whether the brake lever and brake components are securely fastened.
-
If necessary, tighten any loose screw connections.
-
Contact your specialist dealer to have the brake adjusted if you notice or have the
impression that components are loose.
• Make sure that the brake lever is mounted and aligned on the handlebar grip in such a
way that it can be operated comfortably while riding.
-
If necessary, release the brake lever attachment and correct alignment. Then tighten
the brake lever attachment once again.
• Check the distance between the brake lever when fully applied and the handlebar grip:
The distance must be 1 cm at least.
-
Contact your specialist dealer to adjust the brake if the distance is less than 1 cm.
• Check whether the wheel is blocked when the corresponding brake lever is pulled.
-
Contact your specialist dealer to adjust the brake if the wheel is not sufficiently braked
or blocked when you pull the brake lever.
• Check the way in which the brake pads move towards and away from the brake disc
when the brake lever is pulled and then released: The brake pads should move evenly
and symmetrically.
• Check the wear on the brake pads: The brake pads should wear evenly on both sides
of the brake disc.
-
Contact your specialist dealer to check the brake if the wear on the brake pads is
uneven or asymmetrical.
• Pull the brake lever as far as possible towards the handlebar grip and check whether any
brake fluid leaks from the hydraulic line or the connection points to other components.
-
If brake fluid is escaping, contact your specialist dealer to have the brake checked,
and if necessary, serviced and adjusted correctly.
