CHAPTER THREE
Inspection, Adjustment & Lubrication
Introduction
Instead of pressing on the wheel rim to slow the
bike, this braking system presses on a disc that is
mounted on the wheel hub (Figure 3.7.7). The disc
is attached to the hub with bolts, and a disc brake
caliper is attached to the left side of the frame or
fork. A special lever, which functions as the brake
fluid reservoir, is connected to a hydraulic hose to
actuate the brake.
This system consists of several parts:
• Brake lever/ fluid reservoir
• Hydraulic hose
• Brake caliper and disc
• Hydraulic hose
• Brake caliper and disc
Read the brake manual that came with your bike. If you did not
receive a brake manual, get one from your dealer, contact us and
we’ll send you one, or download one from an internet site:

The following information is only meant to supplement the
brake manufacturer’s manual.
Disc brake fluid is very corrosive. Avoid contact with your skin,
or the bicycle; brake fluid removes paint.
Disc brakes may be very hot after use, so use care when
inspecting them. As with other rotating parts on a bicycle,
avoid placing your fingers in the disc.
Do not operate the brake lever when the disc is not in the
caliper. If the lever is pulled with the disc removed from the
brake, the self-adjusting pad clearance will be set at almost
zero, so the disc cannot be re-inserted between the brake pads.
In this case, refer to your disc brake owner's manual.
Inspection
Before every ride
squeeze the brake lever firmly. It should
not be possible to pull the lever fully to the handlebar. If the
brake lever can be pulled to the handlebar, the brake system
WARNING
Disc brakes and discs get very hot during use and could burn
skin. Also, the disc edges may be sharp and could cut skin. Avoid
touching the disc or disc brake when hot, or when rotating.
