Wear and tear to brakes
Brake pads and brake cables are subject to constant wear.
This causes the distance between the brake levers and the
handle grips to change.
• Check and maintain the brakes regularly (see chapter
“Before each ride » Inspection instructions” and “Mainte-
nance
»
Maintenance work » Hand brake”).
Wear and tear to spokes, brake cables and gear
shift cables
Spokes, brake cables and gear shift cables stretch with con-
tinued use, and where wear and tear is detected they must be
adjusted or replaced.
• Check the spokes regularly (see chapter “Maintenance
»
... » Wheels » Rims and spokes”).
• Check the gear shift system and the gear shift cables regu-
larly (see chapter “Maintenance
»
... » Gear shift system”).
• Check the brake cable regularly (see chapter
“Maintenance
»
... » Hand brake » Brake cable”).

For best results, the weight should be determined
using suspended scales. If necessary, ask your specialist
dealer to determine the unladen weight of your bicycle.
