6.4 Adjusting the brakes

CAUTION

Failure to verify brake functionality

Accident, falling of the user due to incorrect adjustment and improperly inflated tyres

► Verify the correct setting of the wheel lock (especially the distance between the wheel lock bolt and tyre).

► Ensure that the user can operate the wheel lock without great effort. The force required is not permitted to

exceed 60 N (~ 6 kg).

► Check the tyre pressure of the rear wheels. Note the information in the section "Technical data" or on the tyre

sidewall.

► Only use original rear wheels with a verified maximum radial out-of-round of 1 mm.

Adjusting the knee lever wheel locks/scissor wheel locks

This adjustment must be made after the rear wheel has been repositioned or during fine adjustment.

1) Loosen the Allen head screws in the clamp brackets (see fig. 18, item 1).

2) Adjust/move the support for the knee lever wheel lock/scissor wheel lock to any position in the clamp bracket

(knee lever wheel lock example: see fig. 18, item 2).

If necessary: Slide and twist the clamp bracket on the seat tube.

3) When the wheel lock is disengaged, the gap between the tyre and wheel lock bolt must not exceed 5 mm (see

fig. 19).

INFORMATION: For special requirements when adjusting the scissor wheel lock, see the section

"Special Requirements for Adjustments to the Scissor Wheel Locks".

4) Tighten the Allen head screws to 15 Nm.

→ After adjustment, the left and right knee lever wheel locks must both have the same braking force.

Special Requirements for Adjustments (All Types of Wheel Locks)

Depending on the adjustment, it may be necessary to rotate or replace the support for the wheel lock. This makes

further wheel lock adjustments possible.
