TO ENSURE SAFETY
TO ENSURE SAFETY
WARNING
•
Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the manuals when installing the product.
It is recommended to use genuine SHIMANO parts only. If parts such as bolts and nuts become loose or damaged, the bicycle may suddenly fall over, which may cause serious injury.
In addition, if adjustments are not carried out correctly, problems may occur, and the bicycle may suddenly fall over, which may cause serious injury.
• Be sure to wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes while performing maintenance tasks such as replacing parts.
• After reading the dealer's manual thoroughly, keep it in a safe place for later reference.
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• Each bicycle may handle slightly differently depending on the model. Therefore, be sure to learn the proper braking technique (including brake lever pressure and bicycle control characteristics) and operation of your bicycle.
Improper use of your bicycle's brake system may result in a loss of control or a fall, which could lead to severe injury.
For proper operation, consult a professional bicycle dealer or the bicycle's owner's manual. It is also important to practice riding and braking, etc.
• If the front brake is applied too strongly, the wheel may lock and the bicycle may fall forward, and serious injury may result.
• Always make sure that the front and rear brakes are working correctly before riding the bicycle.
• The required braking distance will be longer during wet weather. Reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently.
• If the road surface is wet, the tires will skid more easily. If the tires skid, you may fall off the bicycle; therefore, to avoid this, reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently.
• Be careful not to allow any oil or grease to get onto the brake shoes. If any oil or grease does get on the brake shoes, contact the place of purchase or a bicycle dealer. Otherwise the brakes may not work correctly.
• Check the brake cable for rust, fraying, and cracks, and contact the place of purchase or a bicycle dealer if any such problems are found. If the brakes do not work correctly, it is dangerous.
• Because of the characteristics of the carbon fiber material, the lever should never be altered. Otherwise, the lever may break preventing braking operation.
• Check before riding that there is no damage such as carbon peeling or cracking. If there is any damage, stop using the bicycle and consult a dealer or an agency. Otherwise, the lever may break preventing braking operation.
5
TO ENSURE SAFETY
For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:
• Use the dual control lever or brake lever in the combinations specified in the following table. Do not use the combinations with the "NO!" indication in the table.
The brakes may be excessively effective, and you may fall.
(For details on a dual control lever or brake lever listed in the table, refer to the dealer's manual for the respective model.)

Dual control levers not included above Brake levers not included above
: The “NO!” symbols indicate combinations that should not be used under any circumstances.
• The cable adjustment nut and the quick release lever are not equipped on BR-R9110-R/R8010-R/R7010-R; be sure to use SM-CB90 (cable adjuster).
When the brake shoes are worn down, it becomes impossible to adjust the shoe clearance by hand.
• Securely tighten the caliper brake mounting nuts to the specified tightening torque.
• Use lock nuts with nylon inserts (self-locking nuts) for nut-type brakes.
• For sunken nut type brakes, use sunken nuts of the appropriate length which can be turned six times or more; when re-installing, apply sealant
(locking adhesive) to the nut threads.
• If the nuts become loose and the brakes fall off, they may get caught up in the bicycle and the bicycle may fall over. In particular, if this happens with the front wheel, the bicycle may be thrown forward and serious injury could result.
• Brakes designed for use as rear brakes should not be used as front brakes.
• Always use the dedicated brake shoes in the shoe holders of BR-R9110-F/R9110-R/R8010-F/R8010-R/R7010-F/R-R7010-R.
Dedicated brake shoes
R55C4/R55C4 (for carbon rim)/R55C4-A (for carbon rim)/R55CT4
Conventional brake shoes have different fixing positions preventing the mounting bolts from being tightened, which will cause the brake shoes to come off and disable braking.

BR-R9110-RS/BR-R8010-RS/BR-R7010-RS
BR-R9110-RS/BR-R8010-RS/BR-R7010-RS is a rear brake. It cannot be used as a front brake.
BR-R9110-F/BR-R8010-F/BR-R7010-F (front brake) and BR-R9110-RS/BR-R8010-RS/BR-R7010-RS use different shoe holders and internal parts.

BC-9000/R680
BC-9000/R680 (polymer coating brake cable) is designed to have low frictional resistance; therefore, be sure to observe the following instructions. If not observed, the holding force of the brake cable will not be sufficient causing the brake cable to slacken, a loss of brake control and possibly severe injury.
• Use in combination with a brake in the BR-R9100/BR-R8000/BR-R7000 series.
• Use the designated cable grease (Y04180000) for BC-9000/BC-R680.
• When the inner cable is passed through the outer casing, grease may adhere to the inner cable fixing section; therefore, be sure to wipe off the grease with a cloth before fixing the inner cable.

TO ENSURE SAFETY
NOTICE
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• In the case of carbon levers, wash them with a soft cloth using a neutral detergent. Otherwise, the material may break down and be damaged.
• Avoid leaving the carbon levers in areas of high temperature. Also keep them well away from fire.
• Be sure to keep turning the crank during gear shifting.
• When combined with a ceramic rim, SHIMANO road brake shoes wear down more quickly.
• If the brake shoes have worn down until the grooves are no longer visible, consult a dealer or an agency.
• Different brake shoes have their own characteristics. Ask the dealer or the agency for details when purchasing the brake shoes.
• Products are not guaranteed against natural wear and deterioration from normal use and aging.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend SHIMANO lubricants and maintenance products.
For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all the way.
• Use an OT-SP sealed outer casing and cable guide for smooth operation.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly. Do not let dust adhere to the inner cable. If the grease on the inner cable is wiped off, the application of SIS SP41 grease (Y04180000) is recommended.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable. Do not use premium grease or other types of grease, otherwise they may cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• If gear shifting adjustments cannot be carried out, check that the rear dropouts are aligned, whether the cable is lubricated and that the outer casing is not too long or short.
• The clamp band, clamp bolt, and clamp nut are not compatible with other products. Do not use with components that are used in other products.
• For BR-R7000, the looseness of the brake arm itself cannot be adjusted, so do not adjust the lock nut.
