Check the pads for wear by inspecting the thickness of the braking material

attached to the backing plate within the brake calliper (a) or view through the

window on the upper side of the calliper (b). If there is approximately 1mm of

material left on each brake pad, remove the pads according to the manufac-

turer’s instructions, check them thoroughly and replace them, if necessary.

Dirty brake pads and rotors can lead to drastically reduced

braking power. Therefore, make sure the brake remains free of

oil and other fluids, especially when you clean your bicycle or

grease the chain. Dirty brake pads can under no circumstances

be cleaned, they must be replaced! Rotors can be cleaned with

warm water and mild soap. There are also special brake clean-

ers available.

Loose connections and leaky brake lines drastically impair brak-

ing power. If you find leaks in the brake system or buckled lines,

contact your bicycle dealer immediately.

The manufacturers of hydraulic disc brakes usually deliver their

products with detailed instructions. Be sure to read them care-

fully before removing a wheel or doing any maintenance work.

5.3.2 Checking and Readjusting Mechanical

Disc Brakes

Regularly check whether you get a positive braking response before the

lever touches the handlebars.

Make sure the brake cables are in sound condition!

To a certain extent, wear of the brake pads can be compensated directly at

the hand lever. Unscrew the union nut on the bolt through which the cable

enters the lever and then unscrew the bolt until the lever has the desired

travel (c). Retighten the lock nut by taking care that the slot of the bolt does

not face upward or forward, as this would permit an unnecessarily high

amount of water or dirt to enter (d).

Now check the functioning of the brake and see to it that the brake pads

do not drag on the rotor ((a) p. 41) when you release the brake lever and let

the wheel spin.

Repeated readjustment at the brake lever makes the arm on the brake cal-

liper change its position. This can reduce braking power and result in a

complete brake failure in an extreme case!

Some systems must be readjusted directly at the brake calliper

to compensate wear. For more information please read the en-

closed manual of the brake manufacturer.

Some models offer further ways of adjusting the brakes directly at the brake

calliper, though this requires a certain amount of skill. In any case, be sure

to read the original instructions of the brake manufacturer before adjusting

the brakes. If you are in doubt or if you have any questions, please contact

your bicycle dealer!

Damaged cables (b) should be replaced immediately, as they

can snap.

Repeated readjustment at the brake lever can drastically reduce

the maximum braking performance.

The manufacturers of mechanical disc brakes usually deliver

their products with detailed instructions. Be sure to read them

carefully before removing a wheel or doing any maintenance

work.

If your brake system works with DOT brake fluid, the latter needs

to be replaced regularly according to the intervals prescribed by

the manufacturer.
