TO ENSURE SAFETY
•
Do not use the disc brake rotor if it is cracked or warped. The disc brake rotor may break,
and result in serious injury due to a fall.
•
Do not use the disc brake rotor if its thickness is 1.5 mm or less. Also do not use it if the
aluminum surface becomes visible. The disc brake rotor may break, and result in serious
injury due to a fall.
•
The calipers and disc brake rotor will become hot when the brakes are operated; do not
touch them while riding or immediately after dismounting from the bicycle. Otherwise,
you may get burned.

Be careful not to allow any oil or grease to get onto the disc brake rotor and brake pads.
Riding the bicycle in that state may prevent the brakes from operating and result in
serious injury due to a fall or collision.

Check the thickness of the brake pads and do not use them if they have a thickness of 0.5
mm or less. Doing so may prevent the brakes from operating and result in serious injury.

brakes from operating and result in serious injury.
•

from operating and result in serious injury.
