- Ensure brake shoe pads are not over worn and are correctly positioned in relation to the rims.

- Ensure brake control cables are lubricated, correctly adjusted and display no obvious wear.

- Ensure brake control levers are lubricated and tightly secured to the handlebar.

2. Wheels and Tires

- Ensure rims run true and have no obvious wobbles or kinks.

- Ensure all wheel spokes are tight and not broken.

- Check to ensure that wheels are properly seated in the forks.
