OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Have the degree of wear to the brake pad
and brake disk checked at a specialist
workshop (see also Chapter 11):
•
The brake pads must not be worn down in
excess of the degree shown by the wear
indicator.
•
The brake disk must not be less than the
minimum thickness.
•
The minimum thickness is specied in the
accompanying parts instructions.
6. Check your brake disks for dirt, especially
oil and grease.
•
Dirty brake disks must be cleaned immedia-
tely (see Chapter 11)
When touring for several days, the brake
disk, brake blocks and brake pads can
sustain a great deal of wear.
When touring like this, carry spare brake
blocks and replacement pads with you.
Only replace them yourself if you are
familiar with this task. Please consult
your dealer.
If you cannot replace them yourself, have
this done by a trained specialist.
7.8.5 Check back pedal brake
1. Ride your bike at walking pace.
2. Step "backwards" against the direction
of drive.
3. This makes the rear wheel brake sharply.
7.9 Check drive train and chain
1. Turn the right-hand crank counter anti-
clockwise and from above examine the
chain rings and the pinion cassette.
•
The chain rings and pinions must have no
axial run-out.

There must be no debris present. Remove
the latter if this is easy to do.
2. Press the left crank in the position shown
against the chain stay.
•
You should feel no internal play.
•
There must be no audible creaking or ratt-
ling sounds.
3. Check the chain for damage.
•
At no point on the chain should there be,
for example, any damaged chain side bars,
protruding rivet pins or xed and immobile
chain links.
4. In a static position, turn the right crank
against the direction of the drive and ob-
serve the running of the chain at the gear
change rollers on the change mechanism.
5. The chain must run smoothly over the
change rollers and must not jump.
