TASK/CHECK
Check brake efficiency: Pull one brake lever after the other while standing and push the bike backwards and forwards.
→ The front and rear wheel must lock when the brake lever is pulled.
Check whether the brake hoses and connections are losing brake fluid and check them for defects.
→ Brake fluid must not escape at the connections.
Check the bite point of the brakes: Pull one brake lever after the other while standing.
→ The bite point must be felt around half way down the brake lever travel.
Check the brake pads for wear.
→ The brake pads with a metal backing plate must be at least 0.5 mm thick.
Check the disc rotor for wear.
→ Minimum thickness of brake rotors: Avid / Sram: 1.55 mm, Magura: 1.8 mm
Verify the tight fit of the stem: Stand in front of the bike with the front wheel between your knees and try to turn the handlebar left and right.
→ It should not be possible to turn the handlebar with normal force.
Check the headset for play: Stand next to your bike, pull the front brake lever and gently push the bike backwards and forwards.
→ No bearing play must be detectable.
Make sure that all components are tight.
→ Tighten loose parts to the proper torque (see „8.3 Torques"). In case of doubt, contact the PROPAIN Service.
Verify the tight fit of the seat post: Stand behind your bike, hold the saddle with one hand and try to turn it left and right.
→ It should not be possible to turn the saddle or seat post.
Check the tight fit of the grips.
