Disc brakes
Considered one of the most important safety features of your Islabike. It is
a good habit to check the brakes on a regular basis. This should be done
depending on the type, frequency or duration of riding. If your bike has not
been used for a period of time we recommend a quick check before riding.
Brake operation
- Pull on one brake lever at a time and take a closer look
at the brake pads. Check to see if they are touching the discs evenly when
applied. If the pads are not contacting the discs correctly, they are uneven,
rubbing or feel spongy to apply please contact our technical support team
on +44(0)1584 856 881.
Brake pad wear and replacement
- Disc brake pads are subject to wear,
depending on usage and conditions. Eventually they will need replacing.
Brake pads must be replaced if the total thickness of the backing plate and
pad friction material is less than 3mm.
Riding with backing plate and pad friction material less than
3mm can result in reduced braking performance, crash, and/or
death
Pads
fi
tted as standard are organic compound. We
recommend replacing with the same compound to maintain
performance
