Design and Func�on Intended Use ADI's disc brake systems are intended to be used with manual wheelchairs. They are designed to attach to the camber tube region of the wheelchair and slow/stop the wheelchair upon brake lever activation. Disc brakes offer a positive lock independent of the tire pressure/wear, reduce upper body fatigue, augment user control, and afford users of all physical abilities near-effortless braking ability.
