► Racing bike brakes
Wear on the rubber brake pads may lead to misalignment of the pads on your rims.
To avoid risks, it is necessary that you regularly
check the alignment of the brake shoes to the rims.
There must always be a safety distance of 1 – 2mm
to the bottom edge of the rim.
The top edge, (close to the tyre) requires a safety
distance of 1mm. Check for wear and correct
alignment of the brake shoes, and replace the blocks
in good time, to ensure safe braking at all times.
► Axle systems and wheels
►►Quick releases and the TAS-System by ADP Engineering.
Whenever you remove or install a wheel, please remember to lock the quick releases
in such a way that the wheel is clamped firmly and safely between the dropouts.
If the wheels are equipped with TAS, tighten the axles with a torque of 10 Nm.

Note:
As soon as you remove your wheels, e.g. for trans-
portation, insert the enclosed transport protectors
between the brake linings.
►►Wheels
Wheels must run round. A wheel with lateral or
deformation may become a safety risk and reduce
the expected braking efficiency of your bike. In
addition, an unbalanced wheel – particularly at high
speeds – can cause an unstable ride and may be
potentially dangerous. Wheels should also always
have a uniformly high spoke tension. Please check
this regularly.
IMPORTANT: If your MTB/Racing bike has rim brakes, you
may experience rim wear (abrasion) of the rim flanks. In
extreme cases, the rim may wear through. Please check
your rims for possible wear before every ride. If in doubt,
consult your dealer.
