Brakes - Giant WheelSystem Manual

Brakes:

IMPORTANT: Braking with carbon rims at slow speed may cause a shuddering sensation. Only
use Giant recommended brake pads for carbon rims. Other pads may not provide sufficient brake
performance and could overheat the rim, causing the carbon fibers to delaminate. Failure to follow
this may lead to personal injury and void of your warranty. Consult an authorized GIANT dealer
for recommended brake pads.
CAUTION: Do not use latex inner tubes on carbon rims for rim brakes, these can get hot
during hard braking, latex tubes do not withstand heat well which can cause a tire to deflate
suddenly. Failure to comply with this recommendation can void the warranty and may result in
danger. Consult an authorized GIANT dealer for recommended inner tubes.
1. Check the compatibility of the brakes, especially the brake interface of the frame, fork and
wheel. Mount the brake set and its components to the manufacturer's recommendations.
2. When mounting
adjusting rim brake pads,
please ensure to position the
pads at least 3mm from the
rim edge (Fig. 10). Mounting
closer to the rim edge may
result in overheating during
continuous braking
damage to the carbon fiber. Wrong adjustment of brake pads will void the warranty.
3. The installation of 6-bolts type disc brake rotor is shown in Fig. 11. Please follow the disc brake
manufacturer's instruction for rotor installation.
4. The installation of center lock type disc brake rotor is shown in Fig. 12. Please follow the
disc brake manufacturer's instruction for rotor installation.
CAUTION:
 Rims for disc brake wheels are designed to be used with disc brakes only. Do not install rim
brake to disc brake wheel.
