(loosens the cable) if your gear
selection is placing the Gocycle

For information on how to bleed your Gocycle hydraulic brakes, please contact
techsupport@gocycle.com.
NOTE: The brakes will increase in power over the first 50 to 100 uses.
6.7.1 Bleeding the Brakes
As with all hydraulic brakes, for the best possible performance, we recommend that the hydraulic
brakes on your Gocycle are bled every 12 months. We advise that your Gocycle brakes are bled by a
skilled bicycle mechanic with experience with bleeding hydraulic cycle brakes.
WARNING! DOT 4 brake fluid can be an irritant when it comes into contact with human tissue. For
skin contact, wash off the brake fluid in flowing clean water. For eye contact, the eye area should be
flushed with fresh water immediately and continuously for 15 minutes. Consult with medical
personnel.
CAUTION! DOT 4 brake fluids will strip paint. Exercise caution to avoid brake fluid coming into
contact with painted surfaces. If brake fluid does come into contact with painted surfaces, wipe the
surface immediately and clean with an isopropyl alcohol.
Dispose of used brake fluid according to local laws.
For additional guidance, consult the manufacturer’s instructions supplied.
