BRAKE ADJUSTMENT V-BRAKES
(skip this step if you don’t have V-brakes)
•
Lift the wheel and spin it, it shouldn’t make any noise or
drag against the pads
•
If noisy, first check the wheel is correctly installed in the
middle of the forks.
•
If it is, you may need to centre the brake (if one side of
the brake is closer to the wheel than the other side).
•
Adjust the v-brakes by using a Phillips (cross head)
screwdriver on the spring adjuster screw (G)
•
Clockwise (tightening) moves the pad away from the
wheel rim. Anti-clockwise (loosening) moves the pad
towards the wheel rim.
•
Keep squeezing the brake lever to check your
adjustments.
•
NOTE: also check your pads are straight and not
touching the tires. You can adjust here (H).
