Little Knowledge About Brakes

2021-04-14

Q: How to prevent the friction of the disc brake when accelerating or sliding?

Ans:

Generally speaking, this situation often occurs when the frame or clamp is improperly installed or under-maintained.

Please check whether your clip-on brake is installed in the correct position, the rim is intact, and the connection of the shock absorber is normal.

We recommend that the mounting label on the frame is placed in the correct position so that the rims can be aligned accurately.

Because the design of current bicycles is very light, it is impossible to avoid slight bending of the frame and tires when riding the bicycle.

When you accelerate or coast, this slight bend can already cause friction on your rim.

According to your riding environment, disc brakes need regular cleaning and maintenance.

Riding a bike in a humid and muddy environment requires more frequent cleaning and maintenance than cycling in a dry environment.

In addition, please check your disc brake pads. When the thickness of your brake pads has been worn down to 0.5mm or less, please replace your brake pads.
