BefORe eveRy Ride: CheCkLiSt
Before every ride, check your bicycle and its brakes. If your brakes do not 
pass inspection, readjust the brake system or take your bicycle to your dealer for 
service.
Squeeze each brake lever toward the handlebar to make sure the brake moves 
freely and stops the bicycle. If the brake lever can be pulled to the handlebar, the 
brake is too loose (make sure the brake opening lever, Figure 1, is closed).
When the brakes are not applied, the brake pads should be 1 to 2 mm from the 
rim. If the brake pads are too 
close to the rim, the brake is 
too tight. Brake pads should 
be aligned with the rim sur-
face (Figure 2). If the brakes 
are not properly adjusted, 
follow the instructions in the 
Adjustment section of this 
manual or take your bicycle to 
your dealer for service.

thank you for purchasing Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brakesets 
These caliper (side-pull) 
brakes are designed for Con-
dition 1 road riding. Caliper 
brakes come in different reach 
distances (the distance from 
the brake mounting hole to 
the rim.) If these brakes do 
not offer the correct adjust-
ment to fit your bike, consult 
your Bontrager dealer. 
If the brakes are already 
installed on your bike, please 
read the following Checklist 
and Safety information. If the 
brakes are not installed, the 
Installation instructions begin 
on page 5.
