2.4 BRAKES
There are many different types of brakes:
- Caliper brakes
- Cantilever brakes
- V-Brakes
- Hydraulic brakes
- Hydraulic disc brakes
On all Lapierre bikes, the left brake lever corresponds to the front brake, and the right lever corresponds to
the rear brake. ( Except for United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and New Zeland)
Caliper brakes can be adjusted with the barrel adjuster, by turning the lever counter-clockwise. For cantilever
brakes, turn the barrel adjuster on the brake lever to adjust. You should leave 2mm between the brake pad
and the rim for caliper and cantilever brakes. You can adjust V-brakes in the same manner, but only leave
1mm between the brake pad and the rim. Adjustments for hydraulic disc brakes are done automatically. To
prolong the life of your brake pads, avoid contaminating them with any type of greasy substance. If you
have additional questions, please refer to the user’s manual from the brake manufacturer or consult your
Lapierre authorized dealer.
2.5 WHEELS
The tire industry has actively participated in the development of the different styles of riding, and tire
manufacturers now offer tyres that were created to accommodate the style of riding for which the bike
they equip was made. It is important to understand the tyres characteristics in order to take full advantage
of them.
Maintaining your tyres requires:
- Rims that are properly maintained.
- The occasional application of a small amount of talcum powder on the inside of the tire.
- The correct air pressure (indicated on the side of the tire). This will vary based on your style of riding.
You do not need to inflate the tire to the maximum air pressure; instead, you can adjust based on the
comfort/performance ratio you wish to achieve.
- Always remove any foreign objects that get stuck in the tire.
Your tyres should avoid:
- Contact with gas, oil, or other greasy substances.
- Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
- High temperatures.
Certain models of tyres are designed to rotate in a specific direction. Always respect the correct direction if
this is the case, which will be indicated on the side of the tire.
