Step 7:
ADJUSTING THE BRAKES
Make sure the brake pad is positioned
parallel to the wheel rim according
to the picture. The brake pad shouldn’t
be mounted too high so it doesn’t touch
the tire. It should only touch the flat
sides of the wheel rim (when brakes are
in action).
Loosen the clamp that holds the brake
wires with an allen key. Squeeze the
brake pad gently together, but make
sure there is a small gap between the
brake pad and the wheel rim (you can
check if the gap is big enough by lifting
the bike on the handlebar and turning
the front wheel: the wheel should turn
smoothly without touching the brakes).
This will help loosen the brake wire
in order to use pliers to pull the wire.
Ensure the wire is tight enough and yet
doesn’t touch the wheel rim when
the brakes aren’t in action. Then close
the clamp with the allen key.
Repeat the same procedure for the rear
wheel brakes.
