Brakes
WARNING:
Disc brake rotors become hot during use. Do not touch or
come in contact with the disc rotor shortly after use.
Wet weather will require a longer distance to stop.
Brake earlier and avoid sudden stops when riding in wet conditions.
New Brakes Bed-in Procedure
New brakes will require a "bed-in" procedure prior to your first ride
which will ensure the most consistent and powerful braking feel.!
Find a safe riding area that will allow for moderate speed.
Remain seated during the entire procedure for optimal results.
IMPORTANT: The caliper might need to be adjusted and aligned
to ensure there is no constant friction when the brake is not applied
avoiding unpleasant noises, premature wear or poor braking.
If necessary, adjust your calipers by loosening the socket head bolts,
and gently moving the caliper with your hand until is centered and
aligned with the disc. While holding with your hand the caliper in
the correct position, tighten the adjustment bolts again.
A. When brake lever reaches 1/3 of unstressed state, the power
will be cut out completely, when it is at 1/2, bike can brake completely.
B. The distance between brake pad of front wheel and rim should not
be more than 2mm, when the brake pads wear down, timely
adjustment is possible, after adjustment, the brake pad should not
interfere with other spare parts. When a worn brake pad reaches
1/2 of its thickness, it must be replaced.
