Introduzione
Use this guide to replace a worn or damaged brake pad on your Trek Neko Bike.
Bike brakes allow you to stop your bike quickly and safely. Brake pads wear down over time or can break from damage. If you notice reduced stopping power, squeaking or grinding noises, or visible damage to your brake pad, it may be a sign that you need to replace it. Brake pads have a wear indicator line that shows when they need to be replaced. If your brake pad is worn down to the line, it's time to replace it.
It is important to replace your bike brake pad as soon as you notice any of these signs. Continuing to use worn out brake pads can be dangerous because it will be more difficult to stop quickly and safely.
