8.5 Using the brakes

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

If you operate the brakes too firmly this can lock the wheels and cause the bike to skid or roll over.

Frequent and lengthy braking causes the brake system to become very hot, which can lead to undesirable

deterioration of the braking effect (fading).

• Familiarise yourself with the use of the brakes. Begin by riding slowly and operating the brake lever gently.

• You should perform these braking exercises on level surfaces without any road traffic.

• Brake in a controlled manner and press both brake levers at the same time.

• The brakes of your bike are very powerful. If you pull the brake lever too strongly, it is possible that the

wheels will lock.

• A blocking front wheel can cause a roll-over.

• A blocking rear wheel can make it impossible to control your bike.

• Disc brakes only reach their full breaking capacity after a “running in” phase.

• Please ride very defensively for as long as your braking system has not been run in.

• Run your disc brake in. The rule of thumb is: perform approximately 30 braking operations from a moder-

ate speed (approx. 25 km/h) until you come to a standstill. As soon as the braking effect no longer increases

with the same braking force, the running in procedure is completed.

• Avoid long downhill riding for as long as your braking system has not been run in.

• Frequent and lengthy braking - especially in the case of lengthy downhill rides and/or heavy loading - cau-

ses the brake system to become very hot.

• Considerable increases in heat may lead to deterioration of the braking effect. This causes the braking

distance to become longer.

• Take breaks and allow your brakes to cool down as soon as you identify the first signs of deterioration of the

braking effect (fading).

• Do not touch hot rims or brake discs (danger of burns!). Allow your brake system to cool down for at least

10 minutes. See Section 10 Riding the bike.

• Allow your brake system to cool down in the air only. Never cool the brake system by pouring water, etc.

over it (risk of permanent damage to materials!).

• Do not continue riding until you are sure that your brake system has regained its braking effect.

NOTE:

Please also comply with the above points on running in disc brakes after the replacement of brake discs and/or

brake pads by your specialist dealer.

NOTE:

About 65% of the total braking power is provided by the front brake.

Maximum braking power is reached by simultaneously pressing both levers.

1. Pull the lever towards the handlebar to actuate the brake.

8.6 Operating the clamping systems for wheels and the saddle post

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents

WARNING Danger from falls and accidents. If the wheels and saddle post are not correctly mounted, these

parts can become loose and as a result lead to dangerous riding situations, falls and accidents.

• Comply with the following description.

• Practise the operation of the quick-release axle and/or thru axle several times and regularly.

• The opening and closing of screw-nut clampings on wheels may only be performed by a specialist work-

shop.

• If after installation you are not sure whether your front wheel and/or the saddle post have been cor-

rectly mounted, do not use your bike and consult your specialist bicycle dealer.
