V-BRAKE RIM BRAKE
• The brake linings must be free from dirt, grease and oils at all times, since the
brake output may otherwise rapidly reduce or even be lost entirely.
Danger of accident!
DANGER • Check the degree of wear of the brake pads before every ride. When riding
with strongly contaminated brake pads, the brakes may fail entirely! Danger
of accident!
• Replace the brake pads only with genuine spare parts. Always ensure that you
only use brake pads that are suitable for the rim used (steel or aluminium).
Proper function is otherwise not ensured. Danger of accident!
• Replace the brake pads only in pairs, since the brake will otherwise not work
correctly or the brake performance will reduce. Danger of accident!

brake cable.

regulate the idle path of the brake lever.
2. Hold the setting screw

3. After setting, actuate the brake lever approx. 8–10 times when
standing in order to remove play at the brake lever and the bra-
ke linings.
4. Adjust the idle path of the brake lever again if necessary.
EXCHANGING THE BRAKE PADS

fore, regularly check their wear and replace them without delay, at
the latest when brake force is lost:
