via a brake line. The brake pads are pressed
against the disc by pistons. This type of
brake is very powerful and does not require
much maintenance.
Whenever you adjust them, test the brakes
by pushing the bike firmly whilst applying
the brake lever. Only use your bike if it
brakes safely.
Regularly check to make sure that the tubes
and outer casings are properly sealed,
including every time you go out. Tubes and
fittings that are not sealed properly may
result in braking fluid leaks and prevent the
brakes from working properly.
If any fluid leaks from the braking system,
stop using the bike and get a specialist to
carry out the necessary repairs immediately.
If you cycle with the brakes in this state,
there is a significant risk of the brakes failing.
When transporting or storing the bike
upside down, air bubbles can form in the
braking system reservoir. This can a ect the
performance of your brakes.
Cleaning the braking system
If the brake pads come into contact with oil
or grease, they will need to be replaced. If
the brake disc comes into contact with oil
or grease, it will need to be replaced. Failure
to do so will hinder the performance of your
brakes significantly..
Use isopropyl alcohol, soapy water or a
dry cloth to clean and maintain the braking
system. Do not use commercially available
noise-reduction solutions or cleaning
products for brakes as they may damage
certain parts, such as the seals for example.
2.5.2 Derailleurs
Your O2Feel bike will be delivered as
carefully as we can. Contact your approved
O2Feel reseller immediately if any faults
occur.
However, here are some basic rules for
your rear derailleur:
The cable stops are the first thing to adjust
on your rear derailleur. Quick reminder:
the cable stops define the position of the
derailleur from the small cog to the big one
and prevent the chain from jumping. They
are in the right position when the derailleur
moves from top to bottom without derailing
and when you don't hear any clicking on the
smallest and biggest cogs.
– Adjusting the cable stop on the small cog
side (High cable stop): aligning the chain
and the guide roller with the small cog
– Adjusting the cable stop on the large cog
side (Low cable stop): aligning the chain and
the guide roller with the large cog
