Brakes are a safety-critical item on a bicycle.
Improper set-up or use of brakes can result in
loss of control or an accident, which could lead
to a severe injury.
It's your responsibility to learn and understand
proper braking techniques. Consult the owner's
manual for your bicycle and a professional bike
dealer. Practice your riding and braking tech-
niques on a flat and level surface prior to
aggressive riding.
The effectiveness of braking is dependent on
many conditions over which Avid has no control
including the speed of the bicycle, type and con-
dition of the riding surface, braking lever force,
proper installation and maintenance of brakes,
cables, levers, brake pads, the condition of the
bike, weight of the rider, proper braking tech-
niques, weather, terrain, and a variety of other
factors.
Avid brakes and levers are not intended for use
on any motorized bicycle or vehicle. Any such
use could result in a serious personal injury.
ALWAYS RIDE UNDER CONTROL.
Remember, it takes longer to stop in wet condi-
tions. To reduce the possibility of an accident
and minimize trail erosion, you should avoid
locking-up your wheels.
