BRAKE
MAINTENANCE
The MAGURA brake oil filled in is not subject to aging. The MAGURA
rim brake therefore does not need to be vented or refilled regularly
in normal operation. If it is nevertheless necessary, e.g. due to a de-
fective brake line, have this only done by qualified specialist using
the respective special tools.
SETTING THE PRESSURE POINT/COMPENSATING BRAKE LINING
WEAR
You can adjust the pressure point of the brake at the brake lever.
This work must be performed to compensate for brake lining wear.
1. Turn the screw
96
in clockwise to bring the brake linings closer
to the rim flank. The pressure point at the brake lever now starts
earlier. You may need a Torx 25 wrench for this work.
EXCHANGING THE BRAKE PADS
Exchange the MAGURA brake pads at once when the depth of the
groove on the brake lining is less than 1 mm
