WARNINGS
1. Riding with improperly adjusted brakes or worn brake pads, or wheel on which the rim wear mark
is visible is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.
2. Applying brakes too hard or too suddenly can lock up a wheel, which could cause you to lose
control and fall. Sudden or excessive application of the front brake may pitch the rider over the
handlebars, which may result in serious injury or death.
3. Some bicycle brakes, such as disc brakes (fig. 11) and linear-pull brakes (fig.12), Are extremely
powerful. Take extra care in becoming familiar with these brakes and exercise particular care
when using them.
4. Some bicycle brakes are equipped with a brake force modulator, a small, cylindrical device
through which the brake control cable runs and which is designed to provide a more progressive
application of braking force. A modulator makes the initial brake lever force more gentle,
progressively increasing force until full force is achieved. If your bike is equipped with a brake
force modulator, take extra care in becoming familiar with its performance characteristics.
5. Disc brakes can get extremely hot with extended use. Be careful not to touch a disc brake until it
has had plenty of time to cool.
6. See the brake manufacturer’s instructions for installation, operation and care of your brakes. If you
do not have the manufacturer’s instructions, see your dealer or contact the brake manufacturer.
7. If replacing worn or damaged parts, use only manufacturer approved genuine replacement parts
