Braking: Your bike is equipped with two hand brakes. One hand brake operates the front brake and the other
operates the rear. Take time to familiarize yourself with which hand brake stops each wheel. You can
complete this task by spinning the front wheel and squeezing each brake lever one at a time to determine
which one stops the wheel from spinning; this would be your front brake.
When preparing to slow down or stop, gently apply both front and rear hand brakes at the same time being
careful not to over apply the front brake which could cause you to lose control and fall. Before riding your bike
for the first time please follow the "Brake Burn in Procedure" in your owner's packet. Replacement Pads and
Rotors are available from Rambo Bikes. Always replace pads and rotors at the same time to ensure maximum
performance and lifetime.
AVOID APPLYING SUDDEN OR EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE FRONT BRAKE SYSEM. DOING THIS CAN CAUSE
YOUR FRONT WHEEL TO LOCK UP AND YOUR REAR WHEEL COULD LIFT UP AND LOSE CONTACT WITH THE
GROUND. SLIDE YOUR WEIGHT BACK ON THE SEAT AND APPLY PRESSURE TO BOTH THE FRONT AND THE
REAR BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME.
