[. . . ] If the protruding length is any longer, the end of the inner cable may become stuck in the rotor, which could cause the wheel to lock and the bicycle could fall forward causing serious injuries. · The calipers and rotor will become hot when the brakes are operated, so do not touch them while riding or immediately after dismounting from the bicycle, otherwise you may get burned. [. . . ] If using in combination with 4-finger levers such as the BL-T400/ST-T400, the braking force will be higher. Accordingly, under some conditions such as certain riding positions or overall weight, the bicycle may fall over and injury may result if proper care is not taken. · Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. We strongly recommend that only genuine Shimano replacement parts be used. · Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference.
