ASSEMBLY

Risk of accident caused by malfunctioning or locking brakes 
due to improper brake shoe assembly.
- Make sure the brake shoes are correctly installed on the
   brake blocks.
- Make sure that all spherical cap rings are fitted with their
   flat side facing the brake blocks.

WARNING

Assemble the brake shoes to the brake blocks by using 
2 spherical cap rings 

(3) for each shoe.

Determine the correct sleeve nut 

(1) for your front brake 

block.
The sleeve nut must be able to be screwed onto the 
thread of the brake bolt through at least 6 rotations 
(6mm (0.24in)).

Risk of accident as a result of sudden fork breakage due to 
carbon fibres being damaged through improper assembly.
- Make sure the head of the sleeve nut is seated against
   the front shoulder

 (2) of the fork head hole.

WARNING

(fig. 5)

Do not use any thread lock for the time being!

The following installation and adjusting steps are the same 
for both the front and rear brake blocks and for different rim 
types.
We have, however, restricted the illustrations used for the 
individual steps to
   - the front brake block.
   - a clincher rim without tyre.

Assemble the brake block.
Align the brake block so that it is as straight as possible.
Only tighten the sleeve nut slightly to begin with.

(fig. 6)

Loosen the brake shoe bolts.
Press the brake blocks together firmly.
Make sure the entire surface of the brake pad has
full contact with the braking rim.
Only tighten the brake shoe bolts 

(4) lightly to begin
