Riding with worn brake pads, improperly installed brakes, or wheel where
you can visibly see the wear from the brake pads is dangerous and can
result in serious injury or death.
Applying the brakes suddenly or with too much pressure can result
in your wheel locking up. This can cause you to lose control and fall.
Some brakes (like hydraulic disc brakes) are incredibly powerful, so it’s
important that you take extra care when becoming familiar with using
these brakes.
Disc brakes can get extremely hot during and after extended use. Be
careful not to touch a disc brake until it has had plenty of time to
cool. This is especially important to remember if you are performing
maintenance that requires you to remove the front or rear wheel.
Disc rotors have sharp edges, exercise caution when handling them
during maintenance.
Review the brake manufacturer’s user manuals and be sure to properly
care for your brakes. It’s your responsibility to be able to recognize when
your brake pads need to be replaced.
Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may pitch the rider
over the handlebars.
