If your bike is equipped with disc brakes, please refer to
the enclosed instructions of the manufacturer.
Please keep in mind that disc brakes need up to 30-100
brakings to reach maximum brake power.
Reasons for the reduction of the braking effects
When sudden braking in bad weather conditions, there
are risks of skidding. Even if this situation can be avoi-
ded, sudden braking will always happen. In this case,
we recommend to apply the rear brake a little more than
the front one.
Tires should always be inflated within the manu-
facture’s recommendations.
They are rated from 40 to 80 lbs. (check your tires).
Higher pressure for smoother roads or heavy riders.
Lower pressure for more shock absorption on rou-
gher terrains.
Fix a flat tire
Bike tires are fitted with tubes.
Remove the wheel from the bike and deflate it.
Unhook the tire from one side of the rim, using tire
tools, not screwdrivers.
Remove the tube from the tire casing, repair or
replace it. Install the new or repaired tire. Fill the
tube lightly with air in order to let it take its shape.
Put the valve stem through the hole, and fit the insi-
de tire. Put the tire bead in the rim starting at the
valve and finishing at the opposite end, working on
both sides. Push the valve stem into the tire and
pull it back down to seat. Make sure the tube is not
pinched under the tire bead. Inflate with hand or
foot-pump.

Caution!
Whatever the weather is like, you will never exclusive-
ly need the front brake; in order to prevent from sliding,
you should always use both the front and the rear bra-
kes together.
By wet weather, the braking distance in approximately
60 % longer than by dry weather.
INFLATE TO MIN. 3.5 (50PSI) - MAX. 6.0 BAR (85PSI)
