BRAKE SYSTEM
BACK-PEDAL BRAKE
Some Riese & Müller models are optionally
fitted with a back-pedal brake at the rear
wheel. Back-pedal brakes enable you to slow
down the rear wheel by turning the crank
backwards.
If your bike has been fitted with a back-pedal
brake you can brake by pedalling backwards
instead of forwards. The best brake action
can be achieved when the crank arms are in
a horizontal position. On long descends, the
back-pedal brake's performance can decline
significantly. The brake can heat up consi-
derably through long braking.
EN-24
Do not touch the brake after long or heavy
braking due to the danger of burns.
Use the front brake on long descends as well
to allow the back-pedal brake to cool down.
DANGER!
Check the brake anchor is secure
before every ride and after any
kind of assembly work. It must be
secured to a bracket on the frame
by a screw or slotted in a longitu-
dinal hole by a screw head. This
connection requires a tightening
torque of 4-6 Nm.
