Brakes, brake levers and braking systems
23.4.3 Brake pad wear
The brake pads for rim brakes are almost all fit-
ted with grooves or notches.
The grooves and notches serve in part to
help identify the wear level of the brake pads.
If these can no longer be seen, you should re-
place the brake pad.
If a brake pad is grazing against the rim:
The spring setting allows you to set the re-
turn force in such a way that both brake pads
lift evenly from the rim when you release the
brake lever. Subsequently check that the
brakes are working correctly (see chapter
23.4.1 “Adjusting brakes”).
To remove the front or rear wheel, the quick re-
lease lever of the brakes first has to be opened.
To do this, it first has to be opened downwards,
so that the lettering “OPEN” can be seen. Now
remove the loosened brake unit from the brake
boss by pulling it from its positioning. When
subsequently removing the wheel, you now
have enough space to remove the tyre.
Re-fitting the wheel is the same process as
removing the wheel, simply in reverse. Before
you close the brake quick release, the brake
has to be positioned in such a way that the
brake pad contacts the middle of the rim when
the brake is applied. Ensure that the word
“CLOSED” can be seen on the closed quick re-
lease lever.
23.4.4 Hydraulic rim brakes
Magura HS 33 hydraulic rim brakes:
New brake pads
Worn out brake pad
Also ensure that you at least car-
ry out a test braking before you
participate in public road traffic.
Have your pedelec checked by a
specialist retailer if the brakes
are not working correctly. If
your brake pads are so heavily worn that
it is no longer posisble to readjust them,
do not continue to use your pedelec.
First have the brake pads replaced by a
specialist retailer.
Have the brake fluid replaced
on a regular basis. Check the
brake shoes regularly and have
them replaced when they are worn out.
