Checking the front brake linings for wear (50 Mini Adventure)
The brake linings must be replaced when the distance between the hub brake
lever and the cable support, measured with the brake lever squeezed, is less
than 50 mm (2 in) (see illustration).
If the brake linings are replaced too late, i.e. when the lining is partly or fully
worn away, the metal shoes will rub against the brake drum, thus reducing
the braking effect and destroying the brake drum.

The hand brake lever should travel between 10 and 15 mm (0.4-0.6 in) before

hand brake lever or the adjusting screw
[2]
at the brake backing plate. Before
commencing to adjust the cable, always release the counternut
[3]

the counternut must be retightened. Properly remount the rubber protection
piece

pulled back earlier.
After adjusting the cable, always check if the wheel turns smoothly.
