CONSIGLI UTILI PER UN CORRETTO FUNZIO-
NAMENTO DEI FRENI
• Fate verificare periodicamente le coppie di serraggio delle viti di
bloccaggio del freno, di bloccaggio dei pattini e del cavo da un
personale specializzato.
• L'utilizzo della bicicletta sotto la pioggia può causare un maggiore
accumulo di sabbia/sporco sui pattini freno, con conseguente dan-
neggiamento dei cerchi anche nel corso di una sola uscita.
Thank you for purchasing the Primato brakes, a product that offers
both safety and functionality over time.
Before proceeding with using the brakes, please read carefully the
following instruction and store them in a safe place for eventually
reusing.
For more details on the MICHE and SUPERTYPE products and
their warranties, please visit our site at www.miche.it.
TOOLS
The Primato set of brakes can be mounted onto the frame, regu-
lated and maintained with the following spanners (not included in
the pack):
• 2-4-5 mm Allen spanner
• Torque wrench
WARNING!
If you have any doubt whatsoever regarding your service-repair
ability, please take your bicycle to a qualified repair shop.
INSTALLING THE BRAKE
(Picture pag. 9 )
Before positioning the brake, check that the brake pads are sui-
table for the rim.
• Fit the brake onto the frame or fork, and tighten the Allen nut (B)
(Pic. 1) using a 5 mm spanner, and then manually centre the brake
with respect to the wheel. Once the brake is centred, close the
release lever (C) (Pic. 1).
During installation, always check that the centre screw on the bra-
ke enters the threaded bushing by at least 6-7 threads. Less scre-
wed threads could cause the centre screw to break when the bike
is being used and therefore cause the brake to detach from the
frame and cause accidents and serious or even mortal injuries.
• Fix the cable by tightening the cable clamp screw (D) (Pic. 2)
with a torque of 5 Nm, using a 5 mm Allen spanner. If there is too
much space between the pad and rim on both sides, regulate it by
turning the regulation screw for cable tension (E) (Pic. 2).
Check the cable is correctly fixed in place, as if it is loose or da-
maged it could mean the brakes would no longer work and cause
accidents and serious or mortal injuries.
• Per mantenere sempre efficienti i pattini e non usurare la superfi-
cie frenante dei cerchi, vi consigliamo di controllare costantemente
e di asportare immediatamente corpi estranei che possono depo-
sitarsi sui pattini stessi.
PRIMATO BRAKES
• The brakes are fitted with a regulation screw (A) (Pic. 1) for cor-
recting the centring of the brake with the wheel, using a 2 mm
Allen spanner.
• Fix the brake to the frame by tightening the nut (B) (Pic. 1) using
the torque wrench with a torque of 10 Nm.
Check that the nut is firmly tightened down because if it works use
when the bike is being used, it could mean the brakes would no
longer work and cause accidents and serious or mortal injuries.
REGULATING AND FIXING THE BRAKE PADS
• Periodically check that the brake pads are 1.5-2 mm away from
the surface of the rim (Pic. 3). If they are not, regulate the distance
by turning the regulation screw on the cable tension (E) (Pic. 2).
If that is not sufficient, loosen the cable clamp screw (D) (Pic. 2),
increase the cable tension and tighten the cable clamp screw back
down (D) (Pic. 2) with a torque of 5 Nm.
Check that the cable is firmly fixed in place, without damaging it,
so that it does not work loose when the brakes are used, as if it is
loose or damaged it could mean the brakes would no longer work
and cause accidents and serious or mortal injuries.
• The Primato brakes have pad holders with orbital regulation,
which means the brake pads can be regulated in height, in parallel,
horizontally and vertically with respect to the braking surface. The
pad holders are fixed in place by screwing down the 4 mm Allen
spanner (F) (Pic. 4) with a torque of 8 Nm.
On the brakes with pad holder, always check that the closed part
of the holder is facing the riding direction and that the brake pad
fixing screw (G) (Pic. 5) is correctly closed with a 2 mm Allen span-
ner. If the pad holder is not mounted correctly, the brake pad could
slip and cause accidents and serious or mortal injuries.
CHANGING THE BRAKE PADS
a) Always change both brake pads at the same time.
b) Remove the fixing screw from the brake pad (G) (Pic. 5) using a 2
mm Allen spanner, on both the right and left pad-holder.
c) Remove the brake pad by sliding it along the groove in the pad
holder (Pic. 5).
