5-1 | BRAKING
• Make sure that your bike’s brake cables and the specific CORIMA brake pads are in good condition and operate correctly.
• Make sure that the pads are properly adjusted on the rim to avoid damaging it (see drawing n°1).
• Regularly check the pads for wear and replace them when worn.
• During rainy weather or on a wet road, braking distances are longer. Don’t forget this and time your braking accordingly !
To take advantage of the outstanding features of your CORIMA wheel as long as possible, please strictly
follow the directions of use below:
The resin used to manufacture the rim and more particularly the part on which the tire is set on, resists to a
temperature of
180°C. The pressure in the tire must not exceed 8 bars (120 psi).
You, as user, must pay attention to two phenomena, which can alter the rim’s geometry and more particu-
larly its braking surface:
- avoid pressures in the tire that are superior to the ones recommended;
- avoid extensive and prolonged brakings that would put the rim under temperatures that would be over the
ones indicated above.
The damages due to these two phenomena cannot be considered as manufacturing liabilities
and cannot justify an exchange of the wheel under warranty.
Regarding the wearing status of the rims, have a check performed each season in our workshops to ensure
the best possible control. CORIMA will check the wearing status and will inform you of the reliability of your
rims.
WARNING! YOU MUST USE CORIMA BRAKE PADS WHEN RIDING CORIMA WHEELS IN ORDER TO GET A PRECISED
AND REGULAR BRAKING AND IN ORDER AVOID AN EARLY WEARING OF THE RIMS.
5-2 | BRAKE PADS
You must use the specific CORIMA brake pads with all the line of CORIMA wheels.
The CORIMA composite brake pads have been specially developed for braking on composite rims and are the result of
tests carried out within the laboratory and by cyclists undergoing extreme braking conditions. Optimal results have been
obtained for the following essential requirements:
•
Braking efficiency: the CORIMA brake pads allow a safer ride due to the ability to have progressive and controlled
braking on wet and dry surfaces.
• Temperature resistant: the CORIMA brake pads are heat resistant so reduce the risk of wheel seizure.
•
Wear resisting: due to the design and development CORIMA brake pads last longer.
• Silence: Elimination of noise associated with braking. Nevertheless, the contact between new CORIMA brake pads and
a
new rim may cause some noise while braking. This noise will go away after a wearing period.
The CORIMA composite brake pads combine performance and using comfort.
The C
ORIMA br
ak
e pads are compatible with Shimano (Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105), Campagnolo (Record, Centaure, Chorus)
brake shoes on models produced since 2000 and SRAM.
