TASK/CHECK
Check brake efficiency: While standing, pull both brake levers in succession and move the bike back and forth.
→ The front and rear wheel must lock when the brake is applied.
Check brake hoses and connections for brake fluid leakage and defects.
→ No brake fluid may leak at the hose connections.
Check the bite point of the brakes: Pull one brake lever after the other while standing.
→ After about half of the lever travel, a clear bite point must be felt.
Check the wear of the brake pads.
→ The brake pads with a metal backing plate must be at least 0.5 mm thick.
Check the wear of the brake disc.
→ Minimum thickness of the brake rotors: Sram: 1.55 mm
Verify the tight fit of the stem: Stand in front of the bike, clamp the front wheel between your knees and try to twist the handlebars.
→ It must not be possible to twist the handlebar with normal force.
Check the headset for play: Stand next to your bike, pull the front brake lever and gently push the bike backwards and forwards.
→ No bearing play must be detectable.
Make sure that all components are tight.
→ Loose components must be tightened to the required torque (see „8.3 Torques" on page 41). In case of doubt, contact the PROPAIN Service.
Check the tight fit of the seat post: Stand behind your bike, grab the saddle with one hand and try to twist it.
→ The saddle and the seat post must not be able to be twisted.
Check the tight fit of the grips.
→ It shall not be possible to twist the grips by hand.
