Leaking brakes.
If brake fluid is leaking, the brakes may fail.
Check the brake system and the hydraulic
lines regularly for leaks. If you find a leak,
contact your ROTWILD authorised dealer
immediately.
Worn brake pads.
If the brake pads are worn, the brakes will not
function properly. If the metal pad holders
are less than < 0.5 mm from the brake disc,
the pads must be replaced following the
brake manufacturer’s instructions. Check the
brake pads regularly for wear and replace
them if necessary.
If the wheels are removed, there is a risk of
damage being caused to the brake system.
Do not operate the brake lever. Fit the
transport guard for the disc brake on the
calliper.
Brake chafing
If the brake pads rub on the brake disc while
the bike is moving, the causes could be as
follows:
- The brakes are not fully bedded in.
- The wheel is not centred in the axle
mounts of the frame and/or the front
wheel fork. Re-centre the wheels.
- The wheels are not securely located in
the axle mounts. Check the quick release
lever and the axle bolts.
