60 OWNER’S MANUAL
DISK STYLE BRAKES
The distinctive feature of disk brakes is the
actual braking disk that is xed to the wheel
and the caliper unit attached to the front fork
or rear wheel frame.
The brake is activated either by a cable or
hydraulic system. Disk brake systems require
special care of the disk itself, which can even
be damaged by some bicycle parking racks.
Hydraulic systems may require special tools and
adjustments. If in doubt about any adjustments
or maintainance consult your bicycle retailer
or the manufacturer’s manual or specications
data. Some brands provide technical data on
their websites.
The brake Quick Release mechanisms are used
to open the brake arm to assist in the removal /
installation of wheels. The brakes will not function
if the Quick Release is left open. DISK STYLE
