Basic information
When the brake lever is operated, the brake pistons within the
brake callipers are pushed outwards. The brake pads are pushed
against the brake discs by the brake pistons.
•
Check the disc brakes regularly for signs of wear and proper
functioning.
•
Remove dirt from the brake components and the brake discs
immediately with a slightly dampened cloth.
•
If you have disc brakes, clean the brake discs regularly with
brake cleaning fluid or warm water.
Using disc brakes causes wear and tear to the brake pads and
the brake discs.
The cable can also become worn in disc brakes operated by a
brake cable.
In the case of hydraulic disc brakes, the brake fluid can also
become damaged through use.
