To adjust the position of a lever
1. Locate the lever clamp bolt.
2. Loosen the clamp bolt 2-3 turns.
3. Position the lever.
4. Tighten the clamp bolt:
•
Regular brake levers- 53-69 lb•in (6.0-7.8 N•m).
•
On mid-bar levers (Figure 27)- 20-30 lb•in (2.3-3.3 N•m).
3.14 BRAKES
Once a month, inspect brake pads for wear. If the grooves in
the braking surface are less than 2 mm deep, replace the pads.
•
To adjust brake pad clearance to the rim
1. Turn the barrel adjuster. To increase the pad clearance,
turn the barrel adjuster in (clockwise).
To reduce the pad clearance, turn the barrel adjuster out (counter-clockwise).
For most direct-pull or cantilever systems the barrel adjuster is on the lever.
For most road calliper systems the barrel adjuster is on the brake itself.
2. If the brake pads cannot be adjusted properly, loosen the cable clamp
bolt and re-attach the cable.
