1. Always make sure that the quick release skewers of your wheels and seat post are
correctly mounted and closed.
incorrectly installed quick release skewers might cause the fixed items to
get loose. Serious falls with heavy bodily injury might be the result!!
2. Always make sure that the brake lever pressure is o.k. by pulling the lever blade
and ensuring that full braking performance is achieved before the lever blade touches the
handlebars. If this is not the case, pull the lever blade several times (pump) until the brake
pads touch the rotor.
In case, of changing pressure points during a ride you might have air in the brake
system.
See hints about filling and bleeding from on pages 15/16.
3. Always make sure that the brake system does not have any leaks by activating
the lever blade, holding it and checking the hose connections and brake lever for eventual
leaks. (Also see page 11)
4. Always protect your rims and brake pads from oil and lubricants (e.g. by lubrica-
ting your chain).
always check carefully the following points:
1. Are you already familiar with hydraulic rim brakes? Our brakes might be much
more powerful than the stoppers on which you relied so far.
Take your bicycle to a safe area to learn the proper braking technique and operation of
your new brakes and your bike.
2. Check whether you activate the front brake with the brake lever, which
you are used to braking on the front. If ever this is not the case you will have to
train your new setup because any unintended braking might cause an accident
with possible heavy bodily injury! Make change the hose connection by a trained
technician in case of any doubts.
Further hints concerning the swapping of the brake hose see page 11 onwards.
3. In case of extreme riding conditions (total weight of bike plus rider over
100kg and/or a gradient of more than 15%) always use both brakes simulta-
neously to brake your bike down.
4. Do not use a MAGURA rim brake for downhill sport! Any misuse might cause
heavy accidents with fatal injuries for you and others!
5. Are you familiar with the other components on your bike such as shifting, clipless
pedals and suspension units? Always train the perfect handling of your bike in a safe area
before using it in the public traffic. Consult the user’s manual of your bike to learn more
about this.
6. For your own safety always wear a helmet when you ride a bicycle. Make sure as
well that your clothing and footwear are suitable.
