The B stands for brakes. There are many types of brakes on bicycles. Becoming familiar with the functionality of your specific braking system is essential. When checking brakes, it is important to verify proper engagement and function. Start by holding down the brake lever and trying to move the bike back and forth. Visually inspect the contact points of the brakes and rotor or rim. Visualize the brake pads and have them replaced based on the manufacturer's recommendations. Check the lever for cracks. When held down, there should be room between the lever and the handlebar. Inspect the cable and housing. Confirm no fraying or kinks. The cable should be able to move freely through the housing. Hydraulic brakes should be checked for leakage. Check the headset. Turn the handlebars 90 degrees to the bike while holding the brakes. Hold one hand on the headset and move the bike forward and backward, feeling if there is any play in the headset. If there is, have the headset serviced by a qualified mechanic.
