Brake Shoe Replacement
Brake shoes must be replaced if worn so far that there is
insufficient effective pad material remain
-
ing or they are worn past the “wear line” indication. To replace, first remove the worn brakes
shoes after disconnecting the holding mechainsm. Depending on the type of brake, as described on
previous pages, the holding mechanism may be a hexagonal nut or an Allen screw arrangement, or
a combination of both. Take note of the order and position in which the various curved washers
and spacers are attached. Fix the new brake shoes., adjusting the angel and clearance to the rim as
prviously described, and tighten firmly. It will usually be necessary to adjust the rim clearance after
first loosening the control cable anchor bolt, then screwing in cable adjusters and finally tensoning
the cable. be sure to refasten the anchor bolt after adjusting the cable. always replace brake shoes
in pairs-never one side only. Before riding test brakes to ensure they are effective. Brake shoes
must have adequate usable tread.
Disc Brakes
If your bike is fitted with disc brakes, the rear brake will be already attached. check all compo-
nents for tightness and function before riding.
Installing the front disc
When installing the front disc to the hub, ensure the arrows on the disc are pointing in the direc-
tion of forward wheel rotation. tighten the disc to hub with the M5 screws disc mounting bolts, in
a star pattern sequence, using torque of 5-8Nm.
Installing the front caliper
1. Install capliper on front fork legs, and tighten front fork M6 screws to torque 8-10M.
2. thread the inner brake cable through the top cable adjuster on caliper and then through the
actuating arm, tightening the cable anchor bolt to torque 6-10M to secure firmly.
Brake Shoes must have adequate usable tread.
