As a precaution you should carry brake linings for your brakes with you. If you do this you will avoid having

to break off your tour if the specialist workshop does not have your type of brake linings in stock.

7.8.1

Checking general functions

How to check the function of your braking system:

1. Pull on both brake levers completely with the bike at a standstill. The smallest distance between the

brake lever and handlebar grip must be at least 10 mm.

2. Try to push the bike with both brakes applied. Both wheels must remain locked.

7.8.2

Checking the hydraulic disc brake

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

Oil and grease on the brake discs can reduce the braking effect and lead to dangerous riding situa-

tions, falls and accidents.

• Soiled brake discs must be cleaned immediately, see section 14.2, How to clean and care for your

bike.

1. Carry out a visual inspection of the screw connections of the entire braking system. All screws must be

tight.

2. Pull the brake calliper alternately in all directions with your hands. The brake calliper must not move.
