The disk brake has a certain accustomization period. We advise you not to squeeze
the brake too firmly, this can damage the brake pads and/or brake plate. Always
use the brake gradually to come to a complete stop. During the first week when
using the Bastard RDW and its brake you can hear some sounds, this is normal.

touch the brake pads, this could reduce the braking performance.
• An hydraulic disk brake has a powerful braking performance. Before you use the
Bastard RDW we recommend you to practice braking several times in quiet

brakes and require some practice. When braking too abruptly you could damage
something or hurt yourself.
