6/ Disc brake
The brake pads exert pressure on the disc attached to the wheel hub. The intensity of pressure is controlled by a lever linked to the brake by a cable or hydraulic hose. Do not activate
the brake lever when the wheel is not attached to the frame.To align the disc brake, loosen the brake fixing bolts, then fully tighten the lever and retighten brake fixing bolts to a torque
of Nm12. As for hydraulic disc brakes, these are adjusted in the factory. For all subsequent maintenance, the cyclist should contact a qualified technician.
Warning: Pay attention to the hot surface on disck brake after use
Advice on children's bikes
Parents or the responsible adult/s must ensure that children have been properly instructed on how to use the bike and the braking system, in particular.

635 mm.
4. ADJUSTING SUSPENSIONS
Refer to the component manufacturer's recommendations on adjusting forks and suspension which can be found on www.btwin.com.
For specific information about the NEUF system, visit www.btwin.com.
Warning:The suspension fork and shock absorbers must never be dismantled by the user. This procedure must be carried out by a qualified mechanic.
5. BIKE SAFETY GUIDELINES
For your safety, it is recommended that you wear a helmet and use protective equipment and or/signaling devices. This product, and its use, must comply with current regulations.
When cycling in the rain or on damp roads, grip and visibility are reduced and braking distance is increased; the cyclist must, therefore, adapt speed and anticipate braking. Before
using the bike, it's important to check the condition of the wear parts for example the rims, brakes, tyres, steering mechanism and drive chain system; these must be regularly checked,
maintained and adjusted by a qualified and experienced mechanic.
Warning: Clipless pedals and toe-clips can be tricky and may take some time to get used to in order to avoid falls: engage and disengage your shoes in the pedals be-
fore setting off. The interface between the cleat and the pedal can be affected by a number of factors including dust, mud, lubrication, spring tension and general wear.
To adjust shoe straps refer to component manufacturer's recommendations which can be found on www.btwin.com.
This procedure must be carried out by a qualified mechanic.
Warning: BMX pedals are designed to provide better grip over a larger surface area than the ordinary bike pedal. This means that the pedals may have a rough surface
and sharp edges. Cyclists are advised, therefore, to wear adequate protective equipment.
The use of aerodynamic or other types of handlebar extensions can also adversely affect the cyclist's response time when braking and taking corners.
Tyre inflation, dimensions and mounting direction: inflate your tyres to the correct pressure. You must refer to the pressure range indicated on the side of the tyre by the manufacturer;
your tyre's resistance to punctures depends on it. Mount the tyre in the direction indicated on the side (the arrows indicating the rotation direction.
Our bikes are not fitted with tubular tyres. If you are using tubular tyres, please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on how to glue tubular tyres to the rim.
