Brakes
extra care in becoming familiar with
these brakes and exercise particular
care when using them.
Some bicycle brakes are equipped
with a brake force modulator, a small,
cylindrical device through which the
brake control cable runs and which
is designed to provide a more pro-
gressive application of braking force.
A modulator makes the initial brake
lever force more gentle, progressively
increasing force until full force is
achieved. If your bike is equipped
with a brake force modulator, take
extra care in becoming familiar with
its performance characteristics.
Disc brakes can get extremely hot
with extended use. Be careful not to
touch a disc brake until it has had
plenty of time to cool.
See the brake manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for operation and care of your
brakes, and for when brake pads must
be replaced. If you do not have the
manufacturer’s instructions, see your
dealer or contact the brake manu-
facturer.
If replacing worn or damaged parts,
use only manufacturer-approved gen-
uine replacement parts.
