Maintainance & Care
Checking the brake pads
Brake pads are wear parts on your Coboc bike due to the frequency in us-
age. This is why, you need to regularly check them for wear. Please refrain
from using anything but the original parts when exchanging the friction
components. Otherwise, braking function might be affected or damage
could occur. Only use fitting brake pads for your disc brake system, in
order to guarantee the desired braking effect.
Never get oil or grease on the brake pads, brake discs, or brake
flanks, as this leads to a decrease of the braking effect. Please
make sure to change the friction components, if this is the case.
Wear on disc brakes is usually only apparent when dismantling the brake
caliper. This way you can judge how much of the brake pad is left on the
support plate. The brake pads need to be exchanged if their thickness
is less than 0,5mm. Because this is a safety-relevant component the ex-
change should take place in a specialist workshop.
Never touch a spinning brake disc. There is a high risk of injury by
getting your fingers caught. The brake disc and the caliper can
get very hot due to high frequency in usage. Only touch it if it has
cooled down. For further information please contact your local Coboc
dealer or the brake manufacturers website.
Checking the rims
Check the condition of your rims regularly - especially at the beginning of
a season. Check both the inside (under the rim tape) and the outside of
the rim for possible material fatigue and wear, e.g. cracks, deformations,
flaking of materials etc.
Should your rim be deformed due to hard impacts, make sure to exchange
it immediately. Not doing so might lead to serious damage and even
danger because of high spoke tension and spoke tears.
Derailleur
Using wrongly adjusted or strongly used derailleur components
might result in hard falls and serious injury.
Please make sure to have your derailleur system checked in a specialist
workshop for possible adjustment or exchange. Please contact your local
Coboc dealer, if any of the following problems occur:
• The chain skips single sprockets or falls of the chain ring
• Single chain links, chain rings or sprockets are heavily used or
defect
• Switching gears does not work properly
• The rear derailleur or other derailleur components are obviously
broken or loose
• Unusual noise appears while riding or shifting gears
Change in the settings for tension or the limit screws for your derailleur
system should only take place in very small steps and with high caution.
Wrong adjustment might lead to the chain falling of the sprocket and
therefore cause falls and injury. In case of doubt please contact your local
Coboc dealer and have him adjust it for you.
