Operation Manual
35
Transporting the bike
The hydraulic brake system is completely
sealed so the bike can be transported lying
or upside down without brake fluid leaking
out or air intruding.
Mechanical Disc Brakes
To adjust the break pods use the special
screw which is located near the stem. For
more information about settings, please re-
fer to the instructions supplied by the brake
manufacturer.
DISC BRAKES
The Birdy Disc models use a powerful disc
brake system that supplies enormous brak-
ing power while being easy to modulate.
Wear
These brakes compensate pad-wear auto-
matically making it unnecessary to readjust
your brake pads. As such you won’t be able
to recognize pad wear by a changing brake
lever feel.
Please make sure, that the thickness of
your brake pads is checked regularly by your
authorized dealer.
Disassembling the wheels
After the wheel is removed you should no
longer operate the brake lever. The brake
pads will press together making it dicult to
mount the wheel. After removing the wheel,
insert the transportation safety shims to
ensure a sucient distance between the
brake pads.
TIP!
It is useful to carry spare brake
pads with you on longer tours!
