Care & maintenance
recheck the distance of the brake shoes to the rims.
Adjust the distance once again if needed as described
above, before using the brake system on the road.
Danger!
Brake adjustments should only be carried out by an
authorised workshop! Brake testing is required after
each adjustment!
If the adjustment of the brake does not have the
desired effect of proper brake function, then the
entire brake system must be overhauled. This should
only be done by an authorised workshop.
3.4.5 Replacing/ adjusting the brake
pads
The gap between rim and brake pad should not
exceed 1.5 mm. Adjust the alignment if the brake
pads are not ush with the rim edge. This step
requires technical expertise. Leave the replacement or
adjustment of the brake pads to an expert. Release
the clamp screw (Fig. 23-A) and press the brake pads
together by hand; pull the brake cable tight and
retighten the clamp screw. Where available, read the
instructions provided by the brake manufacturer.
Danger!
Make sure to check brake function after each adjust-
ment.
If the adjustment of the brake does not have the
desired effect of proper brake function, then the
entire brake system must be overhauled. This should
only be done by an authorised workshop.
