2.3 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.

2.4 WHEELS

the tire industry has actively participated in the development of the different styles of riding, and tire

manufacturers now offer tires that were created to accommodate the style of riding for which the bike they

equip was made. it is important to understand the tires characteristics in order to take full advantage of

them.

maintaining your tires 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 tires should avoid:

- contact with gas, oil, or other greasy substances.

- prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

- High temperatures.

certain models of tires 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.
