3.1
Open the release lever on the brakes
(Shimano, SRAM) on racing bikes or slide
the pin in the gear brake handle on the
handlebars (Campagnolo).
3.2
For mechanical calliper brakes (cantilever
and V-brakes), you must initially take out
the cable on the brake arm. Hold the cal-
liper with one hand and press the brake
pad or brake arm together. In this posi-
tion, the mostly barrel-shaped nipples of
the brake cross-tension or tension sleeve
(for V-brakes) can be easily taken out.
3.3
For hydraulic calliper brakes from the
company Magura, you open the quick-
release lever on one brake side and pull
the brake out of the holder.
3.4
For disc brakes (hydraulic or mechanical),
you should first of all look where the brake
pads or the points of wear (metal lug/pin)
are. You can use them later to establish
whether the pads are still in the right
position after dismantling. Please read the
instruction manual provided by the brake
manufacturer.
If necessary, read your general instruction
i
manual and the chapter on "handling
quick-releases" and "removing wheels".
3.5
Open the quick-releases or full-floating
axles on MTBs.
If the front wheel can't be pulled out, it is
due to the drop locks. These are holding
pins in the wheel mount (drop end). You
must open the tension nut on the quick-
release slightly and remove the wheel
from the locks.
3.6
Remove the back wheel. To make removal
of the back wheel easier, pull the rear
derailleur slightly back with your hand. Lift
the bike slightly and then tap the wheel
so that it falls out.
Mount the transport protectors for disc
g
brakes if you are transporting the bike
without wheels.
3.7
Pull the brake lever and secure it with a
strong rubber coating if you are transport-
ing a bike with hydraulic disc brakes.
3.8
Remove the nuts on both quick-releases
completely, remove the springs and
remove the quick-releases from the wheel
axles. Make sure that you do not lose the
two little springs per wheel.
