WARNING!
Please be sure that you tighten the cable sufficently, without crushing the cable,
so that it does not slip when brakes are applied. A loose or damaged cable can
cause the brake system to malfunction resulting in an accident, personal injury
or death.
• Check torque setting(s) of the brake, brake pad and cable locking screws at regular
intervals.
• Using the bicycle in the rain can lead to a greater accumulation of sand/dirt on the
brake pads, with consequent damage to the rims, even in the course of a single outing.
To keep the pads in optimum condition and to avoid wear on the sides of the rims,
check your brake pads constantly. Use a file to immediately remove any foreign bodies
which could be deposited on the pads themselves.
• When riding in wet conditions, remember that the stopping power of your brakes is
greatly reduced and that the adherence of the tires on the ground is considerably redu-
ced. This makes it harder to control and stop your bicycle. Extra care is required when
riding your bicycle in wet conditions to avoid an accident.
WARNING!
Salt water environments (as found on winter roads and near the seaside) can cause
galvanic corrosion on most bike parts. Carefully rinse, clean, dry and re-lubricate
all exposed parts to avoid damage, malfunctions and accidents.
