Here we try to give Tips and Tricks simple steps to improve and maintain your mountain bike brake components. Prepare the toolset, lubricants and cleaning fluids, manual book.
1. Check brake your bike, whether you are using a conventional type (V-brake) or using a type of brake discs (discs). - For V-brake check brake both front and rear, make sure the thickness is sufficient within the meaning can still be attached to the rim (rims) if your bike brake lever on the pull. - For Disc Brakes (disc), make sure your brake both front or the back is still thick and still be attached to the disc (disc) if the brake lever (brake Lavers) was withdrawn. Both V-Brake or Disc Brake confirm brake can move together at the moment you do the braking.
2. If you have a way of doing maintenance manual brakes (brake) your bike, these manuals can be made in reference to treatment, if not do not worry about it because at perinsipnya brake with V-brake and disc brake is not too much different. - For V-brake if the brake is still thick and decent but not berfunsi with good brakes, it could happen because the knob settings on both the front brake lever and handlebar-mounted rear wheel was not set correctly. Putur and arrange for the pull knob controller (cable) both front and back, adjust your braking needs, make a point when the lever on the pull is not too deep (close to the handlebar-steering) or too far away. Remember! Do not lubricate your brake it makes slippery friction brake with a rim (rims) For setting knob brake levers (brake lever) you will need the standard tools and pliers for fastening knob. - To Disc Brake fear not damaged even though it look more complicated but if done correctly it should work. There are two kinds of disc brake MTB mountain bike in there that still use the existing wires that already use the hydraulic system (brake fluid). For those who still use the cable (wire) make sure if the master pull the brake lever on the brake to work properly. When the drag lever in the automatic brake master works by suppressing campas brake lining brake part in so pinched disc brake (disc). If the lining is still thick and the brakes are not functioning properly, can in turn try to set the outer lining making it look more into (close to disc). Set a good knob on the brake lever and brake master, make sure that when the pull lever brake discs clamped perfect and the distance the lever is not too deep or too short (the distance from the handle bar (handlebar steering wheel) when in drag (braking) Lubricate brake wire with spray lubricant that many in sales, not too much because if the sediment and mixed with dirt will be lumpy. Remember! Do not lubricate your brake it makes slippery friction between the brake and disc brake (disc) For those of you who already use this type of hydraulic (brake fluid) confirm the condition of brake fluid in there is always the master brake lever on the box (near the handlebar) if empty quickly fill with a lot of brake fluid standard in selling.
Make sure if the drag brake lever can be pressed discs (discs) to perfection. Similarly, for the setting knob wire or hydraulic models. Tip: If you brake there is still looks nice and thick but when the sound of brakes, brake and disc clean by spraying WD-40 or by rubbing the discs with soapy water and wipe with a clean cloth. Repeat until all the sound disappeared.
3. To replace worn brake lining or thin lock your destination L and other standard equipment. For removing and replacing the brakes V-brakes model a very simple way, press both sides of the canvas prints off the hook wire. After stand off then off with lock brake L. To facilitate the replacement of first unplug your front and rear wheels.
To Replace brake disc brake model (disc), your destination toolset standard front and rear wheels off, unplug the master brake so you can freely dismantle brake (if there is a manual brake master product which you follow the manual carefully).
For disc brakes with hydraulic brake master you need a bit of accuracy here, make sure that when removed from the master disc brake lever should not be depressed, because it will get rid of useless oil brake fluid on the box. Follow the guide carefully for replacement brake campas. Hydraulic brakes with existing technology that uses a piston (like a motorcycle disc) press brake piston brake functions.
Take care always clean your brake, check selelu condition levers, cables and brake fluid. If you run out of mountain bike use on offroad terrain and lots of dirt cleaned immediately.
