so-called insertion mark can not be higher than the seat connector. In
case of improper use, serious injury may be caused to the rider (as shown
in Figure 2).
4.8 Braking system
The braking system is an accessory necessary for each bike and is the
key to traffic safety; before driving, you must understand your braking
system, and do a good job in the inspection and adjustment work.
The general idea is that upon hard braking, the bike will surely stop in a
short distance, but that is wrong. Upon hard braking, when the wheels are
suddenly jammed by the brake rubber, the bike will glide horizontally, and
it not only is dangerous but the braking distance will be lengthened.
Therefore, the concept should be established is that the braking system is
only used to adjust the speed of the bike.
The braking system typically includes a Brake handle, brake (disk brake, V
brake and many other types of brakes) and brake cable.
4.8.1 Brake handle
The structure of the Brake handle is
as shown (in the left drawing), and
the left Brake handle controls the
front brake and the right Brake
handle controls the rear brake.
. The adjusting screw is used to
adjust the distance between the brake pads and the Rim.
. The effective stroke of the brake cable is about a half of the distance
between the handle of the Brake handle and the grip of the Across handle
Stems; if the brake is tight when the handle of the Brake handle is almost
approaching to the grip of the Across handle Stems, the distance between
the brake pads and the Rim is too large, it needs to be adjusted.
