Unscrew the pads using a 5 mm hex key.
Place the new pads on the calliper in the right direction.
Tighten the pads, using the same setting.
Wear of the wheel rims
Like any other part that is subject to wear, the wheel rim should be checked regularly. The brake pads
wear the wheel rim down over time. The wheel rim can weaken and break, causing you to lose control
and fall.
WARNING: It is very important to check the wear of the wheel rims. If the mark
becomes invisible with a V-brake, it means that the wheel rim has reached its maximum
wear for safe use. A damaged wheel rim can be very dangerous and needs to be
replaced. Adjust the brake pads to maintain a spacing of 1 to 1.5 mm with the wheel
rim.
Adjusting the gear changing system
Your bicycle has several manually interchangeable speeds with a
Shimano RevoShift system with a rear derailleur. Use the right
handle to make the desired change.
The higher the indicator, the more difficult it will be to pedal and
vice versa.
Careful, never pedal backwards while changing gears and never
force the command lever.
For an optimum use of the gear-changing system, we recommend
avoiding changing gear other than during heavy pedalling sessions.
