The pedal bearing gearshift should be
lubricated once or twice a year with the

surfaces on the rim and the brake pads on the
rim breaks do not come into contact with oils or
greases which could otherwise impair the
braking effect. If rims or brake pads do come
into contact with oils or greases, the brake
pads must be replaced and the rim must be
professionally cleaned with brake cleaner (e.g.
Weicon surface cleaner).
You can find further information in the brake
manufacturer's instructions.
17.5.2 Back-pedal brake for hub drives
A back-pedal brake is already integrated into
the Shimano Nexus Inter3, 7 and 8 speed hub
drives.
This brake is operated by moving the cranks
against the acceleration direction. The brake
force applied is adjusted by the strength of the
backwards movement of the cranks.
17.5.3 Parking brake
The parking brake is implemented via the
mounted rim brake (option). The operation of
the parking brake is carried out using an
operating lever on the pedal bearing support. If
the operating lever is pressed to the left, the
rim brake is activated. When pressed further to
the left, the brake force increases even more. If
the operating lever is pressed to the right, the
rim brake is opened again.
