BRAKES

GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE BRAKES

Brakes (a+b) are used to adjust your speed to the surrounding terrain and

traffic. In an emergency situation, the brakes must bring the bicycle to a halt as

quickly as possible.

Practise braking with your child on a road free of traffic and instruct him/her to

get used to actuating both brakes simultaneously, as due to the weight transfer

the front brakes can generate a far better braking effect.

The braking conditions on unpaved surfaces differ, i.e. overbraking the front

wheel can make the wheel slip away. Therefore, be sure to practise braking on

different kinds of surfaces.

DANGER!

Practise braking with your child cautiously on wet and slippery roads, as

the tyres can easily slip away. Therefore, instruct him/her to reduce the

speed in general when riding in these conditions.

DANGER!

Make sure your child gets carefully familiar with the brakes. Practise emer-

gency stops with your child in a place free of traffic until he/she are com-

fortable controlling his/her bicycle.

RIM BRAKES

V-Brakes and cantilever brakes

Operation and wear

V-brakes and cantilever brakes (c) have two brake arms mounted separately on

either side of the rim. When actuating the brake lever, both arms are pressed

together by the cable (d), the pads touching the rim.

The friction generated by braking causes wear to the brake pads as well as to

the rims. Frequent rides of your child in the rain and dirt and over hilly terrain

can accelerate wear on both braking surfaces.

Some rims are provided with wear indicators, e.g. grooves or circular indenta-

tions. If the rim is worn down to the point where the grooves or indentations are

no longer visible, they need to be replaced. Once the abrasion of the rim has

reached a certain critical point, the rim may break under the tyre pressure. This

can make the wheel jam or the inner tube burst, both of which can cause an

accident! Risk of an accident!

Functional check

Check whether the brake pads are accurately aligned with the rims and still suf-

ficiently thick. You can usually judge the wear of the brake pads by the appear-

ance of grooves.

If the pads are worn down to the bottom of the grooves (e), it is time to replace

them. Be sure to observe the appropriate instructions of the respective manu-

facturer.

See your SCOTT dealer and ask them to examine the remaining thickness of the

rims when your child has worn through his/her second set of brake pads at the

latest. Your bicycle dealer has special measuring devices for determining the

remaining thickness of the rims.

The brake pads must hit the rim simultaneously, first touching it with the front

portion of their surface. At the moment of first contact the rear portion of the

pads should be a millimetre away from the braking surface.

Viewed from the top the brake pads form a “V“ with the trough pointing to the

front. This setting is to prevent the brake pads from screeching when applied.

The brake levers must always remain clear of the handlebars. You should

not even be able to pull them all the way to the handlebars in the event of an

emergency stop. If this is the case, however, observe the following the chapter

“Synchronising and readjusting”.

A correctly adjusted brake is only ensured if all of these checks have been made

successfully.

DANGER!

Brake cables which are damaged, e.g. frayed (f), must be replaced imme-

diately, as they can otherwise fail in a critical moment, possibly causing a

crash!
