5.4.1. Checking and Readjusting Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Check the lines and connections regularly for leaks while pulling on

the lever. If hydraulic oil or brake fluid leaks out, you should see your

STEVENS dealer immediately, as a leak can render your brakes ineffec-

tive.

Make sure you have always a clearly defined pressure point when pulling

the brake lever. If this is not the case, stop cycling and see your STEVENS

dealer immediately. Hydraulic disc brakes have a fully automated brake

pad wear adjuster. It ensures that the brake lever travel does not change

with the wear of the brake pads and there is therefore no need to re-

adjust the brake. Check the thickness of the brake pads regularly. The

overall thickness of Magura pads should not be less than 2.5 mm.

Check the pads for wear by inspecting the thickness of the braking ma-

terial attached to the backing plate within the brake calliper or view

through the window on the upper side of the calliper. If there is ap-

proximately 1mm of material left on each brake pad, remove the pads

according to the manufacturer’s operating instructions on the STEVENS

CD-ROM and check them thoroughly.

With a thickness of 0.5 mm (measured without holder) the brake pads

have to be replaced at the latest.

5.5. Back-Pedal Brakes

This type of brake is hardly found any more and only still common on city

and kids’ bicycles. The brake mechanism of this brake is fully enclosed

and mostly combined with a multi-speed hub.

This back-pedal brake is operated by pedalling backward. For maximum

braking force, step on one of the pedals in its rearmost position with the

cranks horizontal. With Sram models braking force is increased when

you have switched to a lower gear beforehand.

With back-pedal brakes the chain tension has to be checked regularly.

The amount of play, midway between chainring and sprocket, should

not be more than two centimetres.

The Brake System

Danger:

When you state a changed

pressure point when braking

forcefully or when you have

to pump with the lever

repeatedly to achieve a

braking eect, stop cycling

and contact your STEVENS

dealer.

Danger:

Loose connections and leaky

brake lines drastically impair

braking eect. If you ﬁnd

leaks in the brake system

or buckled lines, contact

your STEVENS dealer. Risk of

accident!

Danger:

Disc brakes can only be

mounted on bicycles with

a solid disc brake mount.

Do not use an adapter for

mounting.

Danger: Do not open the brake lines. Leaking out brake

fluid is very unhealthy and aggressive to the

coating.

Danger: Check regularly whether the brake torque arm is

firmly attached to the frame or fork.
