IV. Brake adjustment
Before each use, check that the front and rear brakes are in perfect working order.
The lever on the right activates your rear brake. The lever on the left activates the front brake.
It is recommended that you distribute your braking force approximately 60/40 between the front and
rear. The brake lever should not be in contact with the handlebars, and the sheaths should not be bent
at right angles so that the cables can slide with a minimum of friction. Damaged, frayed or rusty cables
must be changed immediately.
WARNINGS:
•
In rain or damp weather, braking distances are longer. It is recommended to
pre-empt your braking in this situation.
•
When cornering and braking, the handlebar can have a negative influence on
the response time of the cyclist.
•
Do not touch the disc brakes after heavy use of the braking system on your
power-assisted bicycle, as they could burn you.
1. Hydraulic disc brake adjustment
The pads exert pressure on a disc attached to the wheel hub. The intensity of the pressure is controlled
by a brake lever with a liquid via the pressure exerted in the hose. Do not operate the brake lever when
the wheel is detached from the frame or the fork.
To align the mechanical disc brake caliper, loosen the fixing screws of the brake caliper support. Brake
with the corresponding brake lever (the brake caliper is positioned correctly) and hold the brake lever
in this position while tightening the caliper bracket fixing screws.
Check that the pads are 0.2 - 0.4 mm from the disc. If this is not the case and you are not familiar with
this operation, contact a qualified technician.
Never spray oil or any lubricant on the disc or pads (when servicing the chain or the derailleur, for
example). If this happens, remove the grease from the pads and disc, or change them.
Check the alignment of the pads by turning the wheel and you can take to the roads
Discs: your bicycle is fitted with 160 mm diameter discs.

Brake pads are standard, replace them when your pad no longer has a friction component.
