4.
Check the extent of the wear to the brake pads. Ask a Raleigh Stride dealer to
explain how you can check for wear.
5.
Check by gently moving the brake disc back and forth whether or not the
brake disc sits on the front or rear wheel and is backlash-free.
6.
Check whether the front wheel or rear wheel is blocked when the brake is
deployed.
If you discover loose screw connections, have the screw connections tightened by a
Raleigh Stride dealer.
6.2 Brake lever assignment
The brake levers are assigned as follows in the basic configuration:
•
The right-hand brake lever operates the rear wheel brake.
•
The left-hand brake lever operates the front wheel brake.
Acquaint yourself with the brake lever assignment before starting a journey. Get in
touch with a Raleigh Stride dealer if you wish to change the brake lever assignment.
6.3 Disc brakes
When pulling the brake lever, the brake pistons (located in the brake callipers (2) of
the disc brakes) will be pushed outwards. The brake pistons will press the brake pads
against the brake discs (3)
●
Check the disc brakes regularly for wear and functionality. And clear the breaks
afterwards.
●
Remove any soiling to the components of the disc brakes and the brake disc
immediately with a lightly moistened towel.
●
Clean the brake discs regularly with brake cleaning fluid or warm water. Using the
disc brakes causes wear to the brake pads and brake discs. With hydraulic disc brakes,
the brake liquid in the hydraulic lines (1) is also subject to wear.
Ask a Raleigh Stride dealer for an inspection to check the wear of the brake pads.
Carry out the following for the front wheel and rear wheel brake:
If the disc brakes are new or if the brake pads or the brake discs have been renewed,
the disc
brakes need to be applied. For this, note the manufacturer’s instructions or
ask a Raleigh Stride dealer. If the effect of the disc brakes is insufficient after applying
them or if you hear unusual sounds while braking, have the disc brakes checked by a
Raleigh Stride dealer.
