Braking with disc brakes
If the disc brakes are new or if the brake pads or the brake discs
have been replaced, the disc brakes will need to be broken in.
•
Practise using the disc brakes before using them in road traffic.
• To do so, follow the manufacturer’s information or ask your
specialist dealer for advice.
• When braking, always remain in the saddle for safety reasons.
• Never brake completely to a stop.
1. Accelerate the bicycle up to around 15 km/h.
2. Brake sharply and evenly until you slow down to a walking
speed. The wheels must not jam.
3. Repeat this process 20 times for the rear wheel brake and
20 times for the front wheel brake. You will notice that the
brakes become gradually more powerful.
4. Accelerate the bicycle to a greater speed (around 20 to
25 km/h).
5. Brake sharply and evenly until you slow down to a walking
speed. The wheels must not jam.
6. Repeat this process 10 times for the rear wheel brake and
10 times for the front wheel brake.
7. Allow the brake discs and brake pads to cool off before your
first trip.
•
If the disc brakes do not operate efficiently after being bro-
ken in or if you hear unusual noises when braking, you
should have your disc brakes checked by your specialist
dealer.
