Front Brake
Determine which type of brake your bike is equipped with and refer to
the appropriate assembly instructions. For more information on brake
adjustment and maintenance, refer to p. 66 – 69.
Cantilever Brakes – Link Wire
If fitted with cantilever type brakes, insert the brake cable into the link wire
lead, and notch the cable end into the slot of the left brake cable under the
tabbed washer. Squeeze both brake arms together so the brake shoes hit
the rim, pull all slack out of the brake cable, and tighten the anchor bolt.
With the cable fitted, the straddle holder should sit 10 – 20mm above the
reflector bracket. Adjust the brake shoes using a 10mm wrench so that
they are parallel with the rim and are positioned 1-2mm away from the
rim. Several adjustments may be necessary to achieve the correct brake
position.
5. The wheel is tightly secured when the serrated surfaces of the quick
release clamping parts actually begin to cut into the bicycle frame/fork
surfaces.
6. Note that the same procedure applies when operating a quick release
seat post binder mechanism.
7. Turn the bicycle upright using the kickstand to support it.
Warning – Correct adjustment of the quick release is
vitally important to avoid an accident caused by loose
wheel.
