Wheel removal
Removing a wheel with a disc brake does not
require opening the brake. Follow the instruc-
tions
Wheel removal and installation
on pages 67,
and simply slide the disc out of the brake.
When installing the wheel, carefully guide the
disc between the brake pads. If the edge of the
disc is pressed against the pads with force, the
pads could be chipped or damaged, which then
requires replacement of the brake pads.
Lubrication
Every 3 months,
lubricate the brake lever pivots, and the part
of the brake caliper that rotates when the brake lever is pulled, with
a light oil. See your Gary Fisher dealer for a recommended oil. Be
careful not to get oil on any other part of the brakes.
Whenever a cable is installed
, lubricate cables with a thin
layer of Wrench Force® synthetic grease or a similar lubricant.
Cable installation
Follow the instructions
