Brake Pad And Brake Disc Wear; Checking The Brake Pads; Checking The Brake Discs - HNF-NICOLAI XD3 All-Terrain Originalbetriebsanleitung

6.8.1. Brake pad and brake disc wear
Brake pads and brake discs are subject to functional wear caused by friction
between the two parts. The wear depends on the riding style, terrain, weather and
ground conditions, meaning that no binding information can be given regarding the
brake pads.
Brake discs need to be replaced after approx. 4 to 5 changes of brake pad pairs,
as they are made of a harder material. It is recommended to check the brake pads
every 500 km.
6.8.2. Checking the brake pads
The brake pads must be replaced when they
• are only 2.5 mm thick (height of carrier plate and friction lining)
• come into contact with oil (leads to low braking power)
To check the brake pad thickness, use the yellow transport lock supplied:
• Pull the brake lever and insert the rear side of
the transport lock between the carrier plates
of the corresponding brake calliper. If the
transport lock still fits between the pads, they
are not worn out.
• Alternatively, you can put the removed pads
into the small notch in the transport lock.
The pads are worn out when they fit into
the notch.
6.8.3. Checking the brake discs
The brake discs must be replaced if they have a thickness of less than 1.8 mm.
The thickness can be determined using a calliper, for example.
