2.3.2
Rear V-type brake:
The rear brake is operated by the right handle on the handlebars.
AS with the front brake (
Cf 2.3.1) fully tighten the nut on the brake lever, this feature will allow you
to later compensate the natural release of the brake cable.
Loosen the cable clamp (
Cf: brake adjustment of pictures before) and pull the cable until the pads
are pushed against the rim.
Tighten the cable clamp (particular attention is to be made to each end of the sheath which is to enter without
forcing it into the housing of each rigid end side brake lever and V-Brake).
The pads are properly adjusted when they are in equal distance from the rim. The final adjustment is done by
tightening the screws mounted on the supports
’
pads with a screwdriver (distance of about 0.1 to0.5 mm of the
rim).
Warning! in the rain or on a wet surface, the braking distance increases.
2.4 Luggage rack:
Do not load your rack beyond the stipulated weight: 25 kg.
Any carrying device or other equipment installed by you on your rack (e.g., child seats, other equipment, etc.)
must be compatible with the robustness and build of the bike.
You must periodically check the tightness of
the rack’s
fastenings. This type of luggage carrier
is not designed to tow trailers.
Any alterations made to the rack by the user will at their own risk.
When the rack is loaded, changes in the behaviour of the bicycle must be taken into account (wind stability,
braking distances, changes in direction, etc.). For their safety, the user must be aware of these changes in
operation
.
When installing a child seat or panniers, the user must perform a safety check (e.g., hanging straps that are in
danger of catching in the spokes and raise the risk of a fall; check the secureness of the fastenings on the child
seat, the potential trapping of the child's fingers under the saddle, etc.)
The reflector and the rear light must not be covered by the equipment or seat that has been fitted to the rack.
The load on the rack must be evenly distributed on both sides to ensure the stability of the equipment while
riding on public roads.
