Danger of accident due to brake failure caused by faulty installation.
Î – Use.only.brake.pads.that.have.been.approved.by.the.rim.manufacturer.
(for.carbon.rims,.for.example).
L L Your.MAGURA.brake.shoe.is.compatible.with.the.Shimano ® -compatible.
brake.pads.from.various.manufacturers.(e..g..Swissstop ® .“Flash.Pro”,.
Kool-Stop ® .“Dura.Pads”,.etc.).
. ) Unscrew.the.locking.screw. ( 1 ) ,.pull.the.old.brake.pad.out.of.the.brake.
shoe. [ g1 ] .
. ) Clean.the.brake.shoe.
. ) Push.the.new.brake.pad.into.the.brake.shoe..
Observe.the.correct.position.(left./.right,.direction.of.movement).
. ) Tighten.the.locking.screw. ( 1 ) .to.a.torque.of. 1.5 N·m (13 lbf·in). [ g1 ] .

L L If.the.rockers. ( 5 ) .in.the.converter.do.not.respond.immediately.to.a.pull.
on.the.brake.lever,.the.brake.cable.must.be.adjusted.with.the.
stops.
( 1 ) . [ D5 ] .
Danger of accident due to front wheel blocking because of faulty instal-
lation.
The.stops. ( 1 ) .are.exclusively.for.tensioning.the.brake.cable. [ D5 ] .
Î – Never.attempt.to.adjust.the.pressure.point.of.the.brake.with.the.stops.
Î – Make.sure.that.the.rockers. ( 5 ) .do.not.move.in.any.way.when.you.tighten.
the.brake.cable.with.the.stops.
L L The.stops.are.limited.to.a.total.of.2.5.turns..This.corresponds.to.a.
distance.of.2.5.mm..
If.this.distance.is.not.sufficient.to.tighten.the.brake.cables:
. ) Make.sure.that.the.stops. ( 1 ) .are.screwed.in.completely.(-). [ D3 ] .
. ) Loosen.the.clamping.screw. ( 4 ) . [ D4 ] .
. ) Tighten.and.hold.the.inner.brake.cable.with.a.small.pair.of.pliers.
. ) Tighten.the.clamping.screw. ( 4 ) .to.a.tightening.torque.of. max. 2 N·m
(18 lbf·in). [ D4 ] .
. ) Cut.off.the.inner.brake.cable.approx..8–10.mm.behind.the.clamp.with.
small.clippers.and.clamp.on.a.suitable.end.sleeve.
. ) Tighten.the.brake.cable.(+). [ D5 ] .
Make.sure.that.the.rockers. ( 5 ) .do.not.move.during.this.process.but.still.
respond.immediately.to.a.pull.on.the.brake.lever.
