Thank you for purchasing Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brakesets These caliper (side-pull)

brakes are designed for Con- dition 1 road riding. Caliper brakes come in different reach distances (the distance from the brake mounting hole to the rim.) If these brakes do not offer the correct adjust- ment to fit your bike, consult your Bontrager dealer.

If the brakes are already installed on your bike, please read the following Checklist and Safety information. If the brakes are not installed, the Installation instructions begin on page 5.

Before every ride: Checklist

Before every ride, check your bicycle and its brakes. If your brakes do not pass inspection, readjust the brake system or take your bicycle to your dealer for service.

WARNING

If your brakes are not working properly, you can lose control and fall. Inspect the brakes thoroughly before every ride. Do not ride the bicycle until any problem has been corrected.

Squeeze each brake lever toward the handlebar to make sure the brake moves
freely and stops the bicycle. If the brake lever can be pulled to the handlebar, the
brake is too loose (make sure the brake opening lever, Figure 1, is closed).
When the brakes are not applied, the brake pads should be 1 to 2 mm from the
rim. If the brake pads are too
close to the rim, the brake is	B
too tight. Brake pads should
	A
be aligned with the rim sur-
face (Figure 2). If the brakes		C
are not properly adjusted,
follow the instructions in the
Adjustment section of this	Figure 2- Brake pad alignment
