OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8.7 Service the brakes
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Incorrect operation of the brakes can lead
to dangerous riding conditions, falling,
accidents and material damage.
•
Familiarise yourself with the operation of the
brakes.
•
Ascertain which brake lever operates the front
and which one operates the back brake.
•
Operate the respective brake lever several
times in the static position.
You can observe an opening and closing
action of the brake blocks or brake cali-
pers on the respective disk or rim.
1. To operate the brake, pull the lever in the
direction of the handlebars.
You will obtain the best braking eect if
you operate both brake levers in a coordi-
nated and balanced manner.
8.8 Operate the quick-release action
Risk of Personal Injury and Material
Damage!
Incorrect mounting of the road wheels
on a quick-release hub axle may result in
dangerous riding conditions, falls, acci-
dents and material damage.
•
Read the following description regarding
the handling of your quick-release hub axle
and follow the instructions accordingly.
•
Familiarise yourself with the handling of the
quick-release hub axle.
•
Repeatedly practise mounting and demoun-
ting your road wheels to and from the quick-
release hub axle.
•
Check the road wheel every time after it
has been mounted to the axle following the
instructions in Chapter 7.1.1.
•
In case you are unsure if your road wheels
have been mounted correctly, do not ride
your bicycle and consult your specialist
dealer.
Risk of burns!
Quick-release levers on disk brakes can
become hot during riding.
•
Touch the quick-release lever very briey
with your nger.
If it feels hot, let it cool down.
Our bike hubs and possibly also your saddle stem
may have quick-release ttings (often also referred to
as "quick-release clamps" or simply "quick releases").
These quick-release ttings make it possible to di-
sassemble and assemble these components quickly
without any tools.
Construction and function.
