manoeuvres.
Requirements:
• The bike is assembled in accordance with chapter “Bike assembly” (see “3. Bike assembly“ on page 14).
• The saddle height is properly adjusted to guarantee a comfortable ride and to ensure you will get on and off the
bike easily.
• All tasks from chart “Before your ride” (see “7.1 Before your ride“ on page 30) have been carried out.
1. Break in the brake pads.
Choose a road away from public roads and brake 20 to 30 times with the front or rear brake from a speed of
30km/h down to 5km/h. You should brake as hard as possible without locking one of the wheels. Repeat the
process for the other brake. Only then the brake can show its full braking power.
Please note the brake manufacturer’s instructions for more information (see enclosed manual).
2. Check the functioning of the brakes while riding.
Normally, the rear brake is located on the right-hand side of the handlebar, and the front brake is on the left-
hand side. However, if required, the brake levers can also be mounted the other way around.
If the positioning of the brake levers on your bike is new and unfamiliar, you will have to be careful on your
first rides. Make yourself familiar with the functioning and power of the brakes while riding at reduced speed.
Many brakes offer the possibility to adjust bite point and lever reach. Please see the brake manufacturer’s
instructions for more information (see enclosed manual).
