THM-Fibula racing brakes have been exclusively designed
- for installation on standard race- and time trial bikes.
- for combination with standard wheel rims that have a corresponding braking flank.
- for combination with common brake levers that have a leverage ratio of 2:1 and above.
- for use on a paved or tarred surfaces (streets/roads).
Any use differing from that intended could cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
Risk of accident caused by assembly and maintenance work which has not been conducted in a
professional manner.
- Do not overestimate your technical ability. All assembly and maintenance work should be
performed by a specialist workshop for bicycles. This is the only way to ensure the work is
conducted in a professional manner.
- Always observe all of the specified tightening torques for the screw connections.
- Only ever use original THM components which are available from your specialist dealer or directly
from THM.
- Never make any modifications to your THM components.
- Check your brakes (brake block, lever, cables and pads) to make sure they are undamaged and
functioning properly every time you use your bike. Send us your THM-Fibula racing brakes before
further use if damage is visible (cracks, fractures, deformations, etc.) or if you are in any doubt
about their functionality.
- Check your THM components before each journey to ensure the surfaces are completely
undamaged. Send us your THM components for inspection before further use if damage is visible
(deep scratches in the paintwork which extend into the carbon structure, large abrasions, etc.), or
if you are in any doubt about their functionality.
- Always ensure your bicycle is maintained in a flawless condition. Care and maintenance will
prolong the service life of your bicycle and its components and also improve your personal safety.

Fundamental safety precautions
Always remember that riding a bicycle involves potential danger for the rider and other road users,
as well as for the bicycle and its components.
Even if protective equipment and safety devices are used, accidents resulting in death or serious
injury can still occur.
You should therefore use your common sense and avoid any unreasonable behaviour!
