When cycling you supply large amounts of energy for storage in the brake wheel. A brake is put upon the kinetic energy by means of a friction band that runs round the brake groove of the brake wheel. A change in braking effect takes place either through changing the rate of pedalling or through increasing or reducing the tension of the friction band against the brake wheel.

BRAKE BELT CONTACT SURFACE - BRAKE BELT The brake belt should be regularly checked to ensure that it has not suffered execessive wear. If it looks worn it should be replaced. Deposits of dirt on the brake belt and on the contact surface may cause the unit to operate unevenly and will also wear down the brake belt.

Bromsbana Brake groove Abrasive cloth Slipduk Fig.11 CLEANING THE BRAKE SURFACE Release the tension control so that the brake groove sits loose around the flywheel. Then pull off the friction band from the wheel. Rubbing down can be carried out more easily if someone sits on the bicycle and pedals slowly and carefully.

CHAIN 1/2" x 1/8" Check at regular intervals that the chain is correctly tensioned and sufficiently lubricated. At the mid- point of its free length the chain should have free play of minimum 5 mm, see fig. At 20 mm play the chain should be tightened.

REPLACEMENT OF THE FREEWHEEL SPROCKET Remove left and right frame cover. For more info see ”REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE BELT”. Dismantle the chain as described on page 10. Loosen the axle nuts and remove the flywheel. Remove the axle nut, washer, chain adjuster and spacer on the freewheel sprocket side.
Crank bearing The deep groove ball bearings in the crank bearing are lubricated for life and normally do not require any attention. If a fault in the bearing is observed or suspected then contact a specialist. Brake wheel bearing The bearings in the brake wheel are lubricated for life and normally do not require any attention. If a fault in the bearing is observed or suspected then contact a specialist.
