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.
