WARNING
!
Crash caused by brake failure
Oil or lubricant on the brake disc in a disc brake
or on the rim of a rim brake can cause the brake
to fail completely. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.
 Never allow oil or lubricant to come into contact
with the brake disc or brake linings or on the rim
of a rim brake.
 If the brake linings have come into contact with oil
or lubricant, contact a dealer or a workshop to
have the components cleaned or replaced.
If the brakes are applied continuously for a long
time (e.g. while riding downhill for a long time),
the fluid in the brake system may heat up. This
may create a vapour bubble. This will cause air
bubbles or any water contained in the brake
system to expand. This may suddenly make the
lever travel wider. This may cause a crash with
serious injuries.
 Release the brake regularly when riding downhill
for a longer period of time.
