Using your AS3 gear lever and rear brake pedal is easy. For the gear lever, simply use your foot to shift gears as you normally would. The knurled grooves on the tip give you a good grip, making it comfortable and efficient. When it comes to the brake pedal, press it down gently to slow down or stop your bike. The 9 stainless steel teeth on the tip provide reliable braking performance. Here are some things to keep in mind. Avoid applying excessive force suddenly, as this could potentially damage the levers. When riding in rough conditions, be extra careful. For maintenance, regularly clean the levers with a mild soap and water solution. Check the spring - loaded tips and the brake snake cable periodically to make sure they're in good working order. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, contact our customer service for advice. And remember, your levers come with a 12 - month warranty, so you can ride with peace of mind.
