WARNING!
• The braking effect will be greatly reduced if the
surface is wet, dirty, sandy, stoney, uneven or
otherwise compromised by environmental conditions.
It is best to avoid such conditions, but if this is not
possible adapt your driving style to avoid the risk of
potentialy serious accidents.
• Dirty and wet rims and brake pads also reduce the
braking effect when using rim brakes. For this reason,
you should always adapt your method of riding to the
environmental conditions in order to avoid serious
accidents.
• Always check the efficiency of the brakes before
starting your journey to ensure that they are working
correctly. The brakes should be checked regularly by
your dealer and adjusted if required.
