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 be-
come loose. Serious accidents with severe injury may 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.
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 14-16.
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 lubricating
your chain).
Contaminating the pads with oil and lubricants will cause a permanent
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 that the front brake is still actuated by the lever on the side you are
used to braking with. Should this not be the case you will have to train to your new
setup otherwise any unintended front wheel braking manoeuvre may cause an acci-
dent leading to possible serious injury! If in doubt get a trained technician to swap
the hoses. For further hints concerning the swapping of the brake hose see page 11
onwards.
3. While riding in extreme conditions (total weight of bike plus rider over 100 kg
and/ or a gradient of more than 15 %) always use both brakes simultaneously to slow
your bike down.
4. Do not use a MAGURA rim brake for downhill sport! Any misuse might
cause serious accidents with fatal injuries both to yourself and others!
5. Are you familiar with the other components on your bike such as gears, clipless pe-
dals and suspension units? Always practise using your bike in a saffe area to improve your
handling abilities before using it on road. Consult the user’s manual of your bike to learn mo-
re about this.
6. For your own safety always wear a helmet when you ride a bicycle. Make sure
as well that you wear suitable clothing and footwear .
