Bolt the brake caliper on – the brake is held on
using the 2 M6 adapter fixing bolts supplied.
Before installing the caliper, slacken the 2 caliper
fixing bolts on the top of the caliper mount, so
the caliper can slide easily over the brake rotor.
•
The brake lever is attached to the left-hand
handlebar using the single bolt supplied. Gently
bend the bracket open to slip it over the bar,
then bend back and replace the bolt. Slide the
inner cable through the outer cable housing and
run the outer cable housing to the rear brake,
clipping it in place with cable ties along the left
side of the frame when you are happy with its
position. Check that the lever or cable does not
foul the seat or the track rod anywhere within
the full range of steering movement. Run the
cable housing under the rear swingarm, and
fasten it in place using the cable clips provided
(same type of clip that hold the rear derailleur
cable in place).
•
Feed the cable and housing into the socket on
the brake caliper, and attach the end of the
inner cable to the brake caliper arm, making
sure that the lever is in the full ‘off’ (anti-
clockwise) position. Cut the inner cable, leaving
about 2 inches (50mm) past the clamp, and
crimp the cable end cover onto the inner wire.
•
Adjustment – the disc brake has 2 pads inside. Their position is adjusted using a 3mm hex key in the socket
on each side of the caliper. With the caliper on the trike, caliper fixing bolts loosened, and the wheel in place,
wind both pads in until the disc rotor is clamped between them and centered in the caliper. Turn the brake
lever clockwise to ensure the rotor is solidly clamped, and then tighten up the 2 caliper fixing bolts. Turn the
brake lever fully counter-clockwise then back off the pad adjustment just enough for the wheel to run freely
without the pads dragging on the rotor. Test to make sure that when the brake lever is used, the brake grips
properly.
