3. Replace the two brake pads.
4. Connect the brake cable
5. Then adjust the brake pads and the brake lever anew.
SETTING THE BRAKE PADS
The setting of the V-brake rim brake is the same on the front and rear wheel. First align the brake
pads in parallel with the rim:
1. (If you have not done so yet,) release the screws of the brake pads
socket wrench.
2. Align the loosened brake pads in parallel with the rim.
3. Tighten the brake pad screws
Then adjust the distance from the brake pads to the rim:
The distance from the brake pads to the rim should be approx. 1 mm on either side. When the brake
lever is actuated, both brake pads must be in contact with the rim at the same time.
1. Adjust the distance of the brake pads by turning the setting screw
INCREASING THE DISTANCE FROM THE RIM
clockwise
2. Then adjust the brake lever as described in the chapter "brake lever".
3. Repeat the process if the lever still closes too easily.
HYDRAULIC RIM BRAKE
DANGER OF ACCIDENT!
• The brake linings must be free from dirt, grease and oils at all times, since the
brake output may otherwise rapidly reduce or even be lost entirely.
DANGER
• Check the degree of wear of the brake linings before every ride. When riding
with strongly contaminated brake linings, the brake force may fail entirely!
• Replace the brake pads only with genuine spare parts. Always ensure that you
only use brake pads that are suitable for the rim used (steel or aluminium).
Proper function is otherwise not ensured.
• Replace the brake pads only in pairs, since the brake will otherwise not work
correctly or the brake force will reduce.
