Brakes; Operating The Foot Brake - Micro MERLIN User Manual

Brakes

Whenever possible, use several brakes at the same time during braking.
Change the brakes during long downhill rides to avoid overheating.

Operating the foot brake

During braking, shift the body so that the centre of gravity points towards the rear
wheel to achieve the best braking performance. Shifting your weight backwards /
downwards reduces the braking distance considerably.
WARNING
Damp or wet road surfaces result in a longer
braking distance. Be careful and reduce the
speed on slippery or uneven road surfaces.
