Brake System Adjustments
WARNING: You must adjust the front and rear brakes as
written before you ride the bicycle
1. Put the brake shoes in the correct position:
Loosen the nut (1) of each brake shoe. Adjust each brake shoe so it is
flat against the rim and aligned with the curve of the rim. Make sure
each brake shoe does not rub the tire. If the surface of the brake shoes
has arrows, make sure the arrows point torward the rear of the
bicycle. Hold each brake shoe in position and tighten the nut.
2. Test the tightness of each brake shoe:
Try to move each brake shoe out of position.
If a brake shoe moves, do Step 1 again, but tighten the nut tighter than
before. Do this test again, until each brake shoe does not move.
3. Stretch the cable:
Hold both brake shoes against the rim. Loosen the cable clamp.
Pull the cable tight and tighten the cable clamp
WARNING: Do not overtighten the cable clamp.
Overtightening the cable clamp may cut the cable and cause
injury to the rider or to others.
Squeeze each brake lever firmly 20 times. Hold both brake shoes against
the rim and loosen the cable clamp. Pull the cable tight and tighten the
cable clamp.
