Insomeinstances,thebrakingeectcanbedierentorstronger

yourselfwiththebrakingeect,youcouldcauseaseriousaccident.
Practise until you feel safe. Dismount if you ever feel unsafe.
Rim brake
Rim brakes: Avoid continual, uninterrupted
braking on long downhill stretches because
itcausesthebrakingeecttodiminishand/
or tyre damage. Brake intermittently with
intervalsinbetweentoallowtheairowto
cool the braking system.
If necessary, make regular stops to ensure
adequate cooling.
Replace the brake pads when they
reach the safe wear limit. Using worn brake pads can result in serious
injuries with fatal consequences.
CAUTION
Disc brake
Disc brakes: Avoid touching the brake discs
after intensive use of the brakes - they can
become very hot. You could burn yourself if
