BRAKE CABLES
Brake system of bicycle will be effective only when brake cables are correctly stretched. Brake
cables can be set by adjusting screws on brake calipers. Lubricate brake cables and outer
casings with oil which provides cables running smoothly. End cup should be placed on cable
end to prevent its ply apart and damage. Damaged or worn out cable must be replaced by
new one.
BRAKES ADJUSTMENT
Distance between brake shoes and rim should be 1,5 - 2 mm. Set this distance by setting
screw on brake caliper (the screw which through run cable and outer casing). In case that the
distance is still big loosen Allen key screw on caliper's left side and press both sides of brake
with hand. Now stretch the cable by pliers and fix cable by Allen key screw. The distance can
be fine-tuned by setting screw.
When wheel disassembly needed (e.g. when transporting bicycle or puncture repair) release
brake by quick release lever on left side of caliper. Lift up quick release lever to open brake
caliper and wheel can be easily displaced from fork or frame. Press quick release lever down
to return brake into original position.

WARNING
Brake shoes may not touch the tire - otherwise this could cause an over-heating of the tire!
Check brake shoes for wear regularly and if it is necessary change them. Replace worn out
brake shoes with new one original pads matching your brake type.
BRAKE SHOES REPLACEMENT
1. Open brake caliper by quick release lever.
2. Unscrew Allen key screw which holds brake pad in brake shoe holder and remove brake shoe.
3. Slide new brake shoe into holder. Follow arrow mark on shoe and match it with turning
direction of the wheel. Press brake caliper to let new brake shoes touch the rim. Set new brake
shoes position so that they will be parallel to the rim and at least 1 mm under the edge of tire.
4. Fix brake shoes in holder with Allen key screw and return quick release lever into original
position. Check if brake is working properly.
IMPORTANT WARNING
Pay attention when braking on wet surface - braking distance of your bike is longer! Prior
to each ride check, if the braking system of your bike is in a perfect condition.
FRONT AND REAR WHEEL
Prior each ride check if the wheel is securely fastened by quick release lever i.e. quick
release lever must be in position „CLOSE". Quick release lever enables fast toolless wheel
disassemble and assemble. Before ride check if wheel is centred in the fork. Tighten quick release
nut so much that lever will put up resistance when closing. When quick release system is closed to
the secured position it must push closer both fork ends. Move quick release lever only to the
sides to reach its position OPEN or CLOSE. Never turn closed quick release system it could
be damaged!
Check the wheel hubs periodically mainly after ride in wet and muddy conditions. The hub axle should
rotate without any friction and loose. If it does not, even after axle's cones and safety nut adjustment,
it is necessary to disassemble the hub, clean bearing rings and balls, lubricate them with a new
grease, assemble and set the hub again. If you are not skilled enough to do this kind of maintenance
we advise you to contact a special bike service.
RIMS
Check before each ride if wheels are centred correctly and rims are not damaged. There could
appear grooves and cracks by using bicycle or they could be caused by blast. Side areas of
rim are getting worn up by braking. There is security system on each rim side which indicates
deformation on side of rim. Bent side area of rim is mark of wear which causes self-acting
braking. Riding on bicycle with such damaged rims is dangerous and damaged rim must be
replaced!
