consult the HERCULES specialist dealer.

Wheel
Check the

against the specifications
], and adjust it as necessary.
Check the

wear.
Check the

wear.
• The rims of a rim brake with invisible wear indicator
are worn as soon as the wear indicator becomes
visible in the area of the rim joint.
• The rims with visible wear indicator are worn as soon
as the black, all-round groove on the pad friction
surface becomes invisible. We recommend that you
also replace the
rims
with every second brake lining
replacement.
Check the tension of the spokes.
8.2.2
Brake system
On bicycles with a rim brake, check the position of
the brake pads. The brake pads must be aligned
exactly to the rims.
Replace the brake pads on the rim brake when the
profile (check notches) has reached a remaining
depth of 1 mm.
Replace the brake linings on the disk brake when
the pad thickness has reached 0.5 mm.
