2.2 Preparing the brake
a) Rim brake: V brake - Disconnecting the brake
On bikes with V-brakes, the brake must be suspended for mounting the front wheel.
This is the only way to fit the assembled and air-filled tyre through the brake system.
No screw must be loosened.
Press both brake arms together by hand to release the brake cable.
(fig. 1)
Suspend the brake cable by removing the metal tube
(C)
from the metal rail
(D)
of the
right brake arm in the direction of travel.
(fig. 2)
The brake is now suspended and will allow the front wheel to be fitted with an
air-filled tyre.

If the transport safety device has been removed, the front bake should not be operated before the front wheel is fitted with the
disc brake.
b) Disc brake – Removing the transport safety device
In the case of bikes with hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes, a transport safety de-
vice is installed between the brake linings on the brake calliper. This must be pulled
out before installing the front wheel.
