Checking the condition of the brakes
Follow all the instructions listed below for the front and rear brakes.
1.
Check that all the screws in the brake system are secure.
2.
Check whether the brake lever is torque-proof on the handle-
bar.
•
If you find loose screw connections, ask your specialist
dealer to tighten them, taking the correct torque into con-
sideration.
3.
Check that there is still at least 1 cm of clearance between
the brake lever and the grip even when the brake lever is
fully deployed.
•
If the clearance is less than 1 cm, you should ask your spe-
cialist dealer to adjust the brake system.
4.
Check the brake pads for wear and tear.
•
If in any doubt, ask your specialist dealer to show you how
to assess signs of wear.
5.
Check that the brake disc sits on the wheel without any play
by gently moving it backwards and forwards.
6.
Check that the bicycle wheels come to a complete stop when
brakes are applied.
•
If you notice that the brakes are not fully effective, you
should ask your specialist dealer to adjust the brake sys-
tem.
