Rim brake components
24.1 Method of operation
Rim brakes are attached to the fork or seat stay.
When the brake lever is actuated, the brake cable pulls the brake arms together and presses
the brake pads against the brake flanks of the rim – the wheel is braked.
24.2 Warnings relating to the use of rim brakes
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
Rim breakage due to wear.
»
Have the rims checked by your specialist dealer at least once a year or after
1000 km.
25 Operating the brake
INFORMATION
If you apply the front wheel and rear wheel brakes evenly and almost simultaneously,
you can usually control your bicycle better while braking and reduce your braking
distance.
• Pull the brake lever towards the handlebar grip to brake the corresponding wheel.
-
Pull the brake lever harder or all the way to increase or maximise the braking power
("emergency braking").
-
Pull the brake lever less abruptly or release it to reduce the braking power or to stop
braking.
