The brake discs must be oil-free. Any oil on the brake discs is removed with
alcohol. Do not use a conventional brake disc cleaning solution!
The pressure point is the lever position of the travel at which the
brake is engaged. If brakes function smoothly - there are no air bub-
bles in the hydraulic line - the pressure point is situated at the same
lever position at each braking action.
Do not touch the brake discs with your hands. The thin grease film
on your skin is transmitted to the brake discs and affects its func-
tions.
3.3. CHECKING THE CHAIN
The chain is a product subject to wear. Please check regularly the following
items:

Are there any foreign objects (twigs) between the chain links?
-> If so: Remove them.

Is the chain very dirty?
-> If so: Rinse it with water or a proper cleaning solution. Then use a first
class chain lubricant.
»
Lubricate the chain at regular intervals, even when it is not dirty, in order to
prevent it from significant wear.
