ADJUSTMENT
i-BRAK
E
Readjust the brake if the hand brake lever
can be pulled close to the handlebar (for
example, after the braking-in time or after
long use).
• Unscrew adjusting screw (1, Fig. 12) un-
til the brake pads drag lightly.
• Actuate the hand brake lever forcefully
several times and then, if necessary,
turn the adjusting screw further in just
until the wheel starts spinning freely.
• Lock with nut (2).
Caution :
Check that all the brake system
components are functioning properly.
WEAR INSPECTION
If the brake lining is worn, the complete
brake anchor plate must be replaced.
Inspection:
With your finger, press brake lever (3, Fig. 12)
forcefully against the spring resistance. If
the upper edge of the brake lever reaches
the "LIMIT" mark of the wear display (4),
complete brake anchor plate must be
replaced.
DISMANTLING i-BRAKE
Caution:
• Internal area of the brake drum and
brake lining material must be free of
dirt and oil or other substances
containing grease.
Danger of accident!
• Plane faces of brake drum and hub must
be clean and free from oily and greasy
substances.
Front hubs:
– Unscrew lock nut (4, Fig. 13) and
remove steel washer (5).
Gear Hubs:
– Remove steel/resin washer (5, Fig. 13).
• Remove brake anchor plate (6).
• Unscrew four screws (7, Fig. 14) (Torx
T25) and remove brake drum (8).
Caution:
Do not disassemble the brake anchor plate

MAINTENANCE
Under normal circumstances, your i-BRAKE
is maintenance-free and well-protected
against external environmental influences.
• To avoid malfunctions caused by water
entering the components, you should not
use high-pressurized water for cleaning
(i.e. high-pressure cleaners or strong
water jets).
• Do not use any agressive cleansers,
gasoline, petroleum or similar for
cleaning.
• After cleaning your bicycle, you should
do a test braking so that any moisture in
the brake system can be eliminated.
• During the winter season, you should
clean your bicycle in shorter intervals so
that winter road salt cannot cause any
damage.
Caution :
The complete brake anchor plate ab-
solutely must be replaced if oil or other
greasy substances have contaminated the
brake lining. An oily brake lining reduces
the braking performance up to a complete
brake failure. Accidents with serious in-
juries may result.
