"Brakes" have always been a place that is easily overlooked for maintenance. Even if you want to change the oil every 500 kilometers, you will not think of the "brakes" that you have not cared about for a long time. However, no matter how fast the car runs, it needs to stop, so it is crucial to maintain the "brakes".
Although you will not notice any major problems if you do not maintain the brakes for a long time, when you are riding, suddenly there is no brake or the brakes are directly locked, it is a fatal danger. When the problem accumulates to a certain extent, it will explode and there is no way to solve it. So after reading this article, check your car carefully.
First of all, let's talk about the consumables of the brake system, "brake pads". Its function is to rub against the brake disc, so as to slow down and stop the car. Friction will cause loss. For the brake system, the brake pads are the fastest to lose.
Because the gear car and the scooter, as well as everyone's riding habits and road conditions are different, it is impossible to tell you exactly how many kilometers to replace. This can only be observed regularly. When the friction surface on the brake pad is almost worn out, it needs to be replaced.
Brake disc, as mentioned above, the brake pad and the brake disc are frictionally decelerated. Even if the material of the brake pad is softer than the brake disc, the brake disc will also cause wear. Although its life is still very long, it needs to be replaced in time when it is worn to a certain extent, so you still can't forget to check the brake disc.
In addition, since the brake disc is exposed to the outside, it is likely to be damaged by external force, so that the brake disc is no longer a circle. At this time, you will find that the front of the car shakes and can't stop when you squeeze the brake. At this time, the brake disc must be replaced for safety.
Once again, I would like to remind all riders that braking is crucial to safety. No matter how fast the car is running, it must be able to stop, so the maintenance of the brake system cannot be neglected. I wish you all safe riding.
