A NOTE ABOUT DISC BRAKES Your bike is equipped with disc brakes, you can prevent brake squeal by properly “embedding” the brake pads. It is important to do this when the brake pads are new. Select an area in which to ride that allows you to reach a moderate speed safely. Accelerate to a moderate speed and apply the brakes evenly, slowing the bike to a walking pace.

Using ONLY the rear will significantly increase your stopping distance. EVELO.COM galaxy_manual_single.indd 21 09/06/2017 19:52...
If your brakes are worn beyond this adjustment, either take the bike to a local bike shop for professional service, or contact EVELO for additional instructions. • Tune-Up — We recommend a full-service tune-up annually by a professional bicycle mechanic.
