Brakes

General
It is often good to know which brake lever works on the
front wheel or the rear wheel, so that you will not be
suprised.
V-brake (Rim brake)
V-brakes are lightweight and provide a good sense
of control. You can use the V-brakes by using the
brakelevers. When there is too much wear (if the
notches are no longer visible), the brake pads must be
replaced.
The brake pads must be mounted so that the blocks
hit the side completely by pressed-in brakelevers.
The cable that can be adjusted with the adjustment
screw, needs to be at the right tension where there is
the same amount of space between both the brake
pads and the rim. If this is not the case, you can center
the brake by adjusting the screws on the sides of the
V-brake.

Rollerbrake
Rollerbrakes will provide a luxurious braking
experience, are durable and require little maintenance.
You can use rollerbrakes by using the brakelevers.
They let the bicycle brake slowly but good, providing a
luxurious and comfortable brake feeling.
If the rollerbrake starts making a grinding noise, you or
the dealer can possibly add some special rollerbrake
grease to the nipple on the side of the brake. It is also
possible to replace the rubber ring on the inside of the
roller brake, if it is not functioning properly anymore.
