• Brake 20 to 30 times with the front or rear brake from 30 km/h to 5 km/h and then repeat the process for the second brake. Braking should be as hard as possible without locking any of the wheels.

• Please see the brake manufacturer' s instructions for more information (see also „7.2 Further Information" on page 103).

CAUTION

IMPROPER USE OF THE BRAKES CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

• Check the function of the brakes before every ride.

• Do not use the brakes abruptly at high speeds or when cornering.

• Have the adjustment and wear of the brake pads checked regularly by a specialist workshop.

• If the brakes noticeably lose power, stop immediately and do not continue driving.

DANGER

RISK OF ACCIDENT DUE TO SUDDEN FAILURE OF PRE-DAMAGED COMPONENTS!

A crash or unplanned riding manoeuvres can pre-damage components of your bike unnoticed. Pre-damaged components can be deformed or break while riding.

• Check your components regularly and after a crash or accident for damage and malfunctions.

• Components that are subject to high stress must be regularly replaced and checked by a qualified bicycle mechanic. Damaged components must be replaced immediately.
