DISK AND BRAKE PAD CALIBRATION
The goal is to make sure that the brake disk is centrally
positioned in the calliper slot.
So, turn the hex head socket screws (5 mm, using the
Allen key supplied) for calibration on the side of the
calliper.
Push the calliper laterally, try to turn the wheel and
ensure the brake pads do not touch the disk.
Once you have found the correct position close the
tightening screws. (8 Nm torque).
Turn the wheel and check again until you reach the
optimum position, in order to avoid their incorrect wear,
which would no longer guarantee full braking efficiency.
ALWAYS TIGHTEN THE LOWER SCREW BEFORE
TIGHTENING THE UPPER SCREW.
With the calliper removed, you can check the brake pads.
One pad is fixed, the other pad closes when the brake lever
is pressed.
The distance between the disk and the pads must not be
more than 3 millimetres and the pad must be parallel to its
disk.
Also ensure the brake pads are at the correct distance
(slightly more than the thickness of the disk) and are not
worn.
Otherwise the brake calliper would touch the disk during
braking, damaging it.
GEAR SYSTEM
The rear wheel is fitted with Shimano 7-speed gear (dérailleur)
shifter.
Its use is identical to the use of traditional bicycle gearing and it
is governed by the classic lever located near the right-hand
handlebar.
AS FOR TRADITIONAL BICYCLE GEARING, IT MUST BE USED
WITH THE BICYCLE IN MOTION.
