Bontrager Road Brakeset Speed LimitTM Manuel Du Propriétaire



The correct installation of your new Bontrager brakes is critical to 

your safety, so this work should be performed only by an experi-

enced mechanic. The installation portion of these instructions is 

written for an experienced mechanic. If you are not sure of your 

ability to correctly install these brakes, have the brakes installed 

by your Bontrager dealer.
