Changing the brake pads on a cycle

Some notes on replacing the brake pads:

• Before starting the repair, switch to the highest gear to get the chain in a favourable position for removing the tires.
• There is an easy way to get the tires out if you push back the chain holder on the back tire.
• On the front wheel, be sure to remove the cable of the dynamo by removing the cap on the wires.
• Before putting the new brake pads in, push the cylinders inside the casing in to make space for the pads. Otherwise it will be hard to get them in.
• Don’t use the brake while repearing to avoid getting the cylinders stuck.
• The brakes will not work after changing, use the breaking handle a few times until there is some resistance. DO NOT get on the bike before that, you will hurt yourself!
