15.2 Discbrake
Disc brakes must be installed and ser-
viced
byaFLYERspecialistretailer.
Incorrectlyset-upbrakescancauseac-
cidents
andseriousinjuries.
Abraketestisrequiredbeforeeachrideandparticu-
larly
aftereachbrakeadjustment.
Braking behaviour may vary, in particular after ex-
changing
thebrakepads.
Discbrakesrequireabedding-intimetowearin
thediscsandpads.Thebrakingsystemonlyde-
livers its full performance after around 10 braking
cycles
from30km/h.Thebrakingforceincreases
during this time. Consider this during the entire
durationofthewearing-inperiod.
This wearing-in period is also required after re
-
placing
thebrakepadsordiscs.
Pay attention to any unusual noise when braking,
as this could be a sign that the brake pads have
worndowntothewearlimit.Checkthethickness
of the brake pads once the brakes have cooled
down.
Ifnecessary,havethebrakepadsreplaced.
Please do not touch the brake disc while
itisrotating.Youcansufferseriousinju-
ries
ifyourngeriscaughtinthegapsof
arotatingbrakedisc.
The brake calliper and disc may get hot
duringbraking.
Youcouldsufferburnsifyoutouchthis
partduringordirectlyafterbraking.
Have the brake disc replaced if it is worn out or
bent. This replacement procedure must be car
-
ried
outbyaFLYERspecialistretailer.
AirbubblesindiscbrakesYoucanavoid
this problem by applying the brake lever
beforetransportandthenxingitinthis
positionusingastrap.Thispreventsany
air from entering the hydraulic system.
Please note that the brake lever may not
be pulled when the wheel has been re
-
moved.
 Place a spacer between the
brake blocks if you need to remove the
wheel.
15.3 Hydraulicrimbrakes
As the brake pads wear, the path of the hand
lever increases. When this happens, you may
havetoadjusttherimbrakes.Asisthecasefor
mostbikemodels,thiscanbedonebyadjusting
ascreworasettingwheelonthebrakelever.Ask
yourFLYERspecialistretailerfordetails.
