BRAKE SYSTEM
BRAKE SYSTEM SETTING
WARNING!
Do not use the bike if the rear brake is not properly set.
1. Set the brake pads into the correct position:
Release the nut on both brake pads. Adjust the pads so that they
are aligned with the rim and touching it with their entire surface
area. Make sure the pads do not grind against the tire. If there are
arrow marks on the pads, they must point backwards. Tighten the
nuts while holding the pads in place.
2. Make sure the brake pads are secure:
Grip the brake pads and try to move them form their current
position. If you are successful, repeat step 1, but tighten the nuts
more. Try to move the pads again. Repeat these steps until the
brake pads are firmly in place.
3. Tightening the cable:
Press the brake pads onto the rim and loosen the fixing bolt (the
bolt that secures the brake in the brake calipers). Tighten the cable
and secure the bolt again.
WARNING! Do not tighten the bolt too much. The cable could
get severed which could lead to the rider falling during the ride
and injuring themselves and or others.
Squeeze the brake lever at least twenty times. Then press the
brake pads with one hand to the rim and use the other to loosen
the fixing bolt. Tighten the cable and secure the bolt again.
The following instructions describe the brake system setting necessary before the first ride. Make sure
to inform yourself on the correct brake type.
