DISC BRAKES
If your bike is equipped with disc brakes, please refer to
the enclosed instructions of the manufacturer.
Please keep in mind that disc brakes need up to 30-100
brakings to reach maximum brake power.
Reasons for the reduction of the braking effects
When sudden braking in bad weather conditions, there
are risks of skidding. Even if this situation can be avoi-
ded, sudden braking will always happen. In this case,
we recommend to apply the rear brake a little more than
the front one.
CAUTION!
Whatever the weather is like, you will never exclusive-
ly need the front brake; in order to prevent from sliding,
you should always use both the front and the rear bra-
kes together.
By wet weather, the braking distance in approximately
60 % longer than by dry weather.

TIRES AND RIMS

Tires should always be inflated within the manufactu-
re's recommendations.
They are rated from 40 to 80 lbs. (check your tires).
Higher pressure for smoother roads or heavy riders.
Lower pressure for more shock absorption on rougher
terrains.
Please find following example:
INFLATE TO MIN. 3.5 (50PSI) - MAX. 6.0 BAR (85PSI)
