BRAKES
REAR COASTER BRAKE
The Birdy city is equipped with a coaster
brake. Coaster brakes allow you to apply
the brake to the rear wheel at any time by
pedaling backwards. Riese & Müller only use
coaster brakes whose braking performance
is not influenced by the current gear that one
is using.
• Check regularly the tight t of the bolts
which are fixing brake reaction arm of the
coaster brake.
HYDRAULIC RIM BRAKES
For information regarding hydraulic rim
brakes please refer to the separate enclosed
instructions from Magura.
TIP!
The Birdy city is equipped with a
chain tensioner and so you have to
pedal back a little until the brake
becomes active.
