6.7. SETTING THE NUVINCI SHIFTER CABLE PLAY
All explanations with regards to "shifting"
are illustrated with the CB Controller.
This is also valid for the C3 and the
CBs Controller.
»
The play of the shifter cable can be set with
the setscrews (1) on the
»
twist grip housing.
»
You can determine the play of the shifter ca-
ble by slightly pulling the outer cable sleeves
in the area of the setscrews (2):
An optimum play is 0.5 mm.
On the other hand, a shifter cable play in
excess of 0.078 inches (2 mm) may have a
negative impact on the shifting quality and
reduce the service life of the cable pull.
»
A larger play of the shifting cable might be
useful for the mounting and dismounting of the rear wheel, as this facilitates
the removal of the shift cable ends from the Nfinity hub interface.
6.8. BRAKES
Since this is a hydraulic brake system, maintenance options are limited. Con-
sult a specialist workplace for repair works on the hydraulics. Always contact
the specialist when the brake pressure point oscillates.
6.8.1. WEAR OF BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
Brake pads and brake discs are subject to wear, which is originated by the
frictioning of both parts together. Wear depends on driving style, terrain,
weather and surface conditions, and wear of the brake pads cannot be pre-
dicted.
Since brake discs are made of a material with a higher resistance, they must
be exchanged only after exchanging approx. 4 tot 5 brake pad pairs. A regular
inspection of the brake pads every 310.6 miles (500 km) is recommended.
