When stopping feels different.

A brake that sounds unusual, rubs, or feels different at the lever is worth describing clearly. Brake adjustments are an available Cedarline service.

01 / NOTICE

What to notice about the brakes

A useful description focuses on how the brake behaves, rather than guessing at the cause.

Does the sound or feeling happen before, during, or after braking?

Is it the front brake, rear brake, or both?

Does the lever travel or resistance feel different than you expect?

02 / DESCRIBE

Tell us which brake concerns you and what changes when you slow down. If you are unsure which one it is, describe the situation where you notice it.

Next step

Choose brake adjustments in your request and describe the bike in your own words.
