Replacing brake pads
• Slide out the brake pad from the brake shoe (open part,
rear)
• Slide in the new brake pad from the rear (open part) to
the front (closed part) of the brake shoe.
IMPORTANT !
This type of brake pad is not as flexible as a rubber pad,
that’s the reason why we recommend that you don’t bend it
when you set it up in the brake shoe as it may break.
WARNING !
• Always make sure that the closed part of the brake shoe
faces the spinning sense of the wheel. A bad set-up of the
brake shoe may cause a sliping out the pad and won’t allow
any braking.
• Regularly check the pads for wear and replace them when
worn. Replace them before the brake shoes damage the rim.
• Check your brake pads in order that there are no foreign
particles (gravel, metal shavings, etc...) that could damage
the rim.
