BRAKES
26 Checking the brake
• Check that the brake lever and brake components are securely fastened.
-
Tighten any loose screw connections, if necessary.
-
If you notice or have the impression that any components are loose, contact your
specialist dealer to have the brakes adjusted.
• Make sure that the brake lever is mounted on and aligned with the handlebar grip in
such a way that you can operate it comfortably while cycling.
-
If necessary, loosen the brake lever mount and align the brake lever correctly. Then
tighten the brake lever mount again.
• Check the distance between the brake lever when fully applied and the handlebar grip:
The distance should be at least 1 cm.
-
If the distance is less than 1 cm, contact your specialist dealer to have the brake
adjusted.
• Check whether the wheel is blocked when you pull the corresponding brake lever.
-
If the wheel is not sufficiently braked or blocked when you pull the brake lever, contact
your specialist dealer to have the brake adjusted.
• Check how the brake pads move towards or away from the brake disc when you pull the
brake lever and release it again: the brake pads should move evenly and symmetrically.
• Check the wear on the brake pads:
Disc brake:
the brake pads should wear or be used evenly on both sides of the brake
disc.
Rim brake:
The brake pads should wear or be used evenly on both sides of the rim.
-
If the brake pads wear unevenly or more heavily on one side, contact your specialist
dealer to check the brake.
•
Disc brake:
Pull the brake lever as far as possible towards the handlebar grip and check
whether any brake fluid leaks from the hydraulic line or the connection points to other
components.
-
If any brake fluid is leaking, contact your specialist dealer to have the brake checked,
and if necessary, serviced and adjusted correctly.
