1. Release the safety nut of the adjustment screw on the brake lever. If it is necessary to bring the pads
closer to the rim, turn the adjustment screw counterclockwiseout from the thread. Secure the safety nut.
2. If the cable is too loose, turn the adjustment screw on the brake lever clockwise - into the thread.
Now release the screw that secures the cable on the brake arm. Stretch the cable, so that brake
pads are aligned with the rim. Firmly tighten the screw and check the brakes.
IMPORTANT WARNING
Pay attention when braking on wet surface - braking distance of your bike is longer! Prior to
each ride check, if the braking system of your bike is in a perfect condition.
DISC BRAKES
Disc brakes are already adjusted by manufacturer and checked by retailer hence it is safe to use
bicycle immediately.
SET UP OF DISC BRAKE LEVERS POSITION
It‘s possible to adjust brake levers position on handlebar to provide perfect control and safe usage
during ride:
1. Release screws on brake lever mount.
2. Set up the most suitable brake lever position on handle bar which let you perfectly control it.
Fasten screws on brake lever mount.
SET UP OF BRAKE LEVER POSITION - DISTANCE
There is regulation screw inside of brake lever for distance set up between brake lever and
handlebar. Adjust distance between brake lever and handle bar according to brakes model:
•
by Allen screw which is inside of brake lever, or
•
by regulating screw which is integrated in brake lever (configuration depends on brakes model
and their manufacturer).
Brake lever position (closer to handlebar or away from handle bar) could be adjusted by turning of
regulation screw or Allen screw.
DISC BRAKES MAINTAINANCE
It is strongly recommended to visit professional service if you do not have needed experiences and
special tools. Nonprofessional manipulation with disc brake system could cause reduced braking
effect or total brakes failure.
DISC BRAKE ROTOR
Rotor status must be checked regularly. Rotor is worn out by braking which results in scratches on
it. Replace damaged rotor by new one.
WARNING
Rotor is heated by braking therefore disassemble wheels from fork or frame carefully. Hot
rotor could cause skin burns!
DISC BRAKE PADS
Brake pads are wearing out by braking and braking effect is gradually less efficient. Possible marks
that brake pads are worn out are these: brakes are making noise while braking or you notice
that brakes are less efficient. Worn out brake pads must be replaced by new one. Your retailer
recommends you suitable brake pads.
BRAKE FLUID CHANGE
Air in disc brake system could cause reduced braking efficiency or disc brakes failure. It is necessary
bleed air from disc brake system or eventually replenish it by brake fluid.
WARNING
Disc brake hydraulic system is filled up by standard brake fluid or mineral oil. These two brake
fluids can not be mixed with each other. Only recommended brake fluid by manufacturer can
be used for replenishment or brake fluid change. Brake fluid change or hose change requires
experiences and special tools hence it is recommended to visit qualified service center.
