WARNINGS:
•
In the event of rain or wet weather, braking distances are extended. It is
recommended to anticipate braking in such a situation.
•
When cornering and braking, the handlebars can have a negative influence on
the cyclist's response time.
•
Do not touch the disc brakes after intensive use of the braking system of your
electric bike at the risk of being burned.
Adjustment of mechanical disc brakes
The brake pads exert pressure on a disc fixed in the wheel hub. The intensity of the pressure is
regulated by a brake lever with a cable. Do not operate the brake lever when the wheel is
detached from the frame or fork.
To align the automatic disc brake bracket, unscrew the fixing screw from the brake bracket
holder.
Brake with the corresponding brake lever (the brake bracket is positioned correctly) and hold the
brake handle in this position by tightening the bracket holder fixing screws.
Check that the inner pad (inside the wheel) is 0.2 - 0.4 mm from the disc. If not, tighten the pad
positioning screw until there is a gap of 0.2 - 0.4 mm between the pad and the disc.
To adjust the outer pad (on the outside of the wheel) simply change the brake cable pressure so
as to obtain a gap of 0.2 - 0.4 mm at the level of the bracket or brake lever.
It is recommended never to pour oil or any lubricating material on the disc or pads (when
servicing the chain or derailleur, for example). If this happens, the pads or disc should be
degreased or replaced.
Check the alignment of the pads by spinning the wheel to use the bicycle on the road.
Discs: the bicycle is equipped with discs with a diameter of 160 mm.
• A nut and locknut system at the level of the brake lever or bracket allows you to adjust the
pressure of the cable and therefore the braking force which will vary over time according to the
wear of the brake pads.
