[. . . ] · Before riding the bicycle, check that the pad thicknesses are 0. 5 mm or more. · Be careful not to allow any oil or grease to get onto the rotor and brake pads, otherwise the brakes may not work correctly. · If any oil or grease do get on the pads, you should replace the pads. · Check the brake cable for rust and fraying, and replace the cable immediately if any such problems are found. [. . . ] · The required braking distance will be longer during wet weather. To avoid this, reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently. · Check that the quick release lever is on the right side (the opposite side to the rotor). If the quick release lever is on the same side as the rotor, there is the danger that it may interfere with the rotor, so check that it does not interfere. · It is important to completely understand the operation of your bicycle's brake system. Improper use of your bicycle's brake system may result in a loss of control or an accident, which could lead to severe injury. Because each bicycle may handle differently, be sure to learn the proper braking technique (including brake lever pressure and bicycle control characteristics) and operation of your bicycle. This can be done by consulting your professional bicycle dealer and the bicycle's owners manual, and by practicing your riding and braking technique. · The M545 disc brakes are designed for optimum performance when used in combination with the BR-M545 (calipers), ST-M410 (brake lever), SM-RT61, SM-RT62 (rotor) and Shimano pad unit (M06). lbs. } Inner cable Use a flat-tipped screwdriver or similar tool to bend the edges of the tightening plate over the heads of the bolts as shown in Fig. 3 Tightening plate 3 mm Allen key Snap ring Brake pad CAUTION · Disc brakes have a burn-in period, and the braking force will gradually increase as the burn-in period progresses. Make sure that you are aware of any such increases in braking force when using the brakes during the burn-in period. The same thing will happen when the brake pads or rotor are replaced. 2.
