5.3.1 Special warnings for disc brakes
WARNING
Risk of accident and injury!
If components of the disc brake wear out unnoticed, a
loss of function of the disc brake can result.
f Have the disc brake checked regularly (once a year or
every 1,000 km) by the bicycle dealer and have worn
components replaced.
CAUTION
Risk of burns!
The brake disc can heat up during braking. Especially
during/after intensive use of the brake (e.g. driving down-
hill/full braking), there is a risk of burns on hot brake discs.
f Always allow brake discs to cool down before working
on them or on nearby components.
NOTE
Risk of damage!
Depending on the intensity of use, the brake pads of the
disc brake may "glaze" over time: The braking effect is
reduced and disturbing noises (squeaking) can occur.
Glazing can also be caused by emergency braking with
new brake pads.
f Regularly brake abruptly and relatively hard when
driving down longer slopes in order to "brake free"
glazed brake pads. Always make sure that the driving
or braking manoeuvre can be carried out safely.
f Brake in the disc brake before regular use off the road
if the disc brake or e-bike is new and after the brake
pads have been renewed.
NOTE
Risk of damage!
You can damage the disc brake when installing or remo-
ving the corresponding wheel.
f Have wheels with disc brakes removed/installed by a
bicycle dealer.
