HYDRAULIC RIM BRAKE
• Check the degree of wear of the brake linings before every ride. When riding with
strongly contaminated brake linings, the brake force may fail entirely! Danger of ac-
cident!
• Replace the brake pads only with genuine spare parts. Always ensure that you only
DANGER
use brake pads that are suitable for the rim used (steel or aluminium). Proper func-
tion is otherwise not ensured. Danger of accident!
• Replace the brake pads only in pairs, since the brake will otherwise not work correct-
ly or the brake force will reduce. Danger of accident!
MAINTENANCE
The MAGURA brake oil filled in is not subject to aging. The MAGURA rim brake therefore does
not need to be vented or refilled regularly in normal operation. If it is nevertheless necessary,
e.g. due to a defective brake line, have this only done by qualified specialist using the respec-
tive special tools.
SETTING THE PRESSURE POINT/COMPENSATING BRAKE LINING WEAR
You can adjust the pressure point of the brake at the brake lever. This work must be per-
formed to compensate for brake lining wear.
1. Turn the screw (fig. AO) in clockwise to bring the brake linings closer to the rim flank. The
1
pressure point at the brake lever now starts earlier. You may need a Torx 25 wrench for this
work.
EXCHANGING THE BRAKE PADS
Exchange the MAGURA brake pads at once when the depth of the groove on the brake lining
is less than 1 mm (fig. AN):
1. Turn the Torx screw
2. Push the lever (fig. AQ) of the quick-clamp down to open it
3
(OPEN).
3. Take the brake cylinder
AQ).
4. (If necessary), remove the wheel.
5. Pull off the worn brake pads.
6. Clean the brake pad holder.
7. Insert the new brake pads
(fig. AR).
8. Install the wheel again if you removed it.
