Step 1. On a gradual downhill slope, pull on each brake for 20 to 30 seconds, alternating between front and rear. Repeat this 2-3 times. Step 2. On a steeper incline, apply and pull the brakes for 10 to 15 seconds, then increase the pressure on the lever until the bike slows down almost to a complete stop. Repeat 2-3 times. Pro tip: The front pads will have been heated more than the rear pads. For best performance, replace both the front and rear pads, then repeat step 2.
