4.4. Brake system
Your ProCargo CT1 is equipped with hydraulic disc brakes. The left brake lever
acts simultaneously on both front wheel brakes, the right brake lever acts on the
rear brake.
In an unloaded condition, the axle load is minimal on the front wheels.
The wheels are blocked extremely quickly with heavy front braking.
Front wheels blocked in curves will lead to understeer, the bike slides
forwards in a direct line.
-> The rear brake should be predominantly applied in an unloaded
condition and the front brakes applied only tentatively.
Operation
Brake discs and brake callipers can become extremely hot under braking,
in particular following long descents.
-> Do not touch the brake system with your hands after heavy braking.
You could suffer burns.
Both brake levers feature a turning lever which can be used to block the respective
brake.
For locking:
• Pull the brake lever towards the hand-
lebar.
• At the same ti me, push the rotary
switch towards the end of the handlebar
until the brake blocks.
To release the brake locking:
• Pull the brake lever towards the
handlebar
• At the same ti me, push the rotary
switch towards the stem until the brake
lever retracts
The brake system compensates wear of the brake pads automati cally and ensures a
constant pressure point for the brake.
