7.5 Brakes
Check cables for signs of wear and fraying.
Squeeze the brake lever rmly and check for pro-
per brake function.
Ensure rotors are free of foreign substances and
oils. Brake Pads should never be worn down to
their limit, replace as necessary.
Should your brake Pads appear to be worn down
or your brakes are not as responsive as they used
to be, ask your A2B dealer to check and replace
brake Pads. Brakes lose effectiveness when wet.
If riding in wet weather is unavoidable, remember
that stopping your A2B will require extra distance.
Ride slower, keep a greater interval between
yourself and other trafc, and begin braking soo-
ner than normal. Failure to take these precautions
could lead to an accident causing serious or fatal
injury and/or property damage. If you are uncer-
tain about any aspect of the brake operation un-
der any condition, ask your A2B dealer.
Brake discs and brake Pads must be free of
oil and grease.
7.6 Tyres
Check tyres for any damage, cracking, unusual
or excessive wear. The tyre should be properly
seated in the rim and the t of the tyre bead in
the rim should be periodically checked. Check for
foreign objects in the tyre tread and that the valve
stem is straight in the rim.
Damaged or worn tyres should be replaced im-
mediately. Take your A2B to an A2B dealer or a
qualied bicycle mechanic to repair and/or repla-
ce your tyres if necessary.
In the unlikely event of having a at tyre you need
to know the correct procedure for removing and
re-installing the front or rear wheel.
