Linear-Pull Brake Setup
1. While holding the brake shoe against the rim, tighten the shoe
fixing nut. The brake shoe should be centered vertically on the
rim. Make sure the brake shoe is not touching the tire.
2. Thread the brake cable through the brake noodle and boot.
3. Set the clearance between the brake shoes and the rim to ~1mm
on each side and tighten the cable fixing bolt. This distance does
not need to be set exactly at the brake arm, as you can finely
adjust it more easily with the brake lever barrel adjustor (see
photo on page 72).
4. If the brake pads are not centered around the rim, you can adjust
the balance with the spring tension adjustment screws.
