CAUTION: The angle position of the brake arm has been specially designed. Do not change its angle position

higher than 1mm while pulling the brake cable. Otherwise, the brake performance will be affected. Be sure not to adjust

the adjusting barrel on the brake lever assembly other than required during riding or it will also have a bad influence on

the brake performance.

CAUTION: Brake pad replacement – check the brake pads for wear. At 1/2mm or less thickness of brake lining,

the pads are worn and must be replaced for continued safe braking.

d. Brake pad replacement

The G Plus Genesis uses a Promax DSK-715 Bearing Caliper Front & Rear Disc Brake system. The disc brake

pads are compatible with Avid BB5 disc brakes and can be found or ordered from almost any neighborhood bicycle

shop or you can contact your Authorized Prodeco Technologies dealer. The pads are always available at no charge

through Prodeco Technologies directly.

Promax DSK-715 Brake Pad Replacement

 The replacement of the pads is required when pads have less than 1/2mm of pad material remaining. Pad

replacement requires either the removal of the disc brake caliper or wheel to install new pads. To remove

the caliper, use the 5mm hex key in the multi-piece tool kit that came with your bicycle and remove the

caliper mounting bolts.

 You will need to turn the brake pad adjustment knob counter clockwise fully allowing room for pads to be

changed. Remove the retainer spring and slide the old pads out one at a time. Use the pad arms to push

the pads out.

 Insert the new pad into the caliper by first installing the adjustment knob pad (outside pad) and align the

pad backing arm with the pad backing slot. Insert the inside pad through the caliper and align the pad

backing arm with the pad backing slot. Reinsert the pad retainer spring which holds the pads in place.

 Reinstall the caliper back onto the fork or frame or wheels back on bike. Follow Chapter 7: Maintenance

and Replacement section c “Brake Adjustments” on adjusting the brake to the perfect setting.

CAUTION: Be sure not to adjust the adjusting barrel on the brake lever assembly for a standard cable

adjustment. It will not allow for full brake lever modulation and have a bad influence on the brake performance.

CAUTION: Brake pad replacement – check the brake pads for wear. If the pads are at 0.5mm or less, they need to

be replaced for continued safe braking.
