Guidelines for Using Brakes

To get the best performance and service life from the brake system, understand and apply the following
techniques:
In wet conditions, which reduces friction, always provide additional distance for braking and
adjust how quickly you apply the brakes.
When applying the brakes, particularly the front brake, use a lower pressure to start with until
you feel the brakes starting to "bite", then increase pressure as required. Do NOT over-apply the
brakes and cause the wheel to stop rotating – this may result in loss of control.
Maintain the brake friction components (pads, shoes, rubbers) in good condition and replace
when they reach the wear limit.
Maintain brake adjustment so that the brakes perform effectively, the levers are comfortably
positioned, and there is not excessive play in adjustable components.
If the brakes are not performing effectively, making abnormal noise or any part is not serviceable
or cannot be adjusted correctly, have the brakes inspected and adjusted by a bicycle mechanic or
suitably qualified person.
If the brake cables become frayed or otherwise damaged, have them replaced by a bicycle
mechanic or suitable qualified person.
