6.2.3 **Proper Braking Technique for Disc Brakes**
Allow the brake to slightly drag while riding slowly to adjust microscopic irregularities between the
brake pads and the disc. Initiate proper braking by peorming multiple brakings from a higher
speed approximately 15 times from 25 km/h.
6.2.4 **Maintaining Disc Brakes**
Wipe the disc brake with a damp paper towel or cloth after riding. Avoid contamination with oil
substances.
6.2.5 **Poor Brake Peormance Causes**
If you notice diminished disc brake peormance, take action promptly for your safety. Avoid
postponing maintenance.
6.2.6 **Common Causes of Poor Brake Peormance**
- Wear, di, or oily substance on the rims.
- Misalignment between the rim and disc brake pad.
- Unworn brake pads.
- Brakes grinding.
6.2.7 **Addressing Poor Disc Brake Peormance**
- Replace worn brake pads.
- Regularly clean brakes to enhance peormance.
- Tighten loose screws to prevent grinding noises. Adjust lateral disc runout if necessa.

team of specialists, bike professionals, or workshops.
Persistent contamination reduces braking power and accelerates wear. Anyone who is out and
about in any terrain and is not deterred by the weather and mud should therefore clean their bike
more frequently in order to avoid unnecessa follow-up costs due to increased material consump-
tion. In order to remove di from the brake disc and the caliper, you must rst remove the pads.
Loose screws can cause grinding noises
Grinding brakes are usually due to inadequate assembly. However, the screws on the brake caliper
can also loosen over time due to vibrations. Correct the tightening torque by checking all screw
connections.
A lateral wobble in the disc can cause spot grinding. If you cannot correct the disc yourself by hand,
the only solution in this case is an exchange. Sometimes the brake caliper has to be realigned if
there is a permanent grinding noise.
