5.4 Brake Pad Adjustment
For minor adjustment of the brake pads, use the Adjustment
Barrel (B). Firstly slacken the Brake Adjustment Lock Nut (A), and
rotate the Adjustment Barrel (B) in the direction of the arrow (anti-
clockwise). If satisfied with the adjustment re-tighten the Brake
Adjustment Lock Nut (A).
However if there is still play in the brake cable, (see Figure N on
page 16), it will be necessary to adjust the cable.
Firstly slacken the Brake Adjustment Lock Nut (A), then adjust the
Adjustment Barrel (B), by rotating clockwise fully into the calliper.
Slacken off the Inner Brake Cable Securing Nut (C).
Squeeze the brake pads tightly against the flywheel, and pull the
inner brake cable with thumb and forefinger to remove any slack,
(be careful not to pull the Brake Cable End Cap off (D)), (see
Figure O), re-tighten the Inner Brake Cable Securing Nut (C).
Then check the Free Wheel Test (12-Revolutions) (see Section 3.5
on Page 11) and if required, fine adjust the brake pads as
described from the beginning of Section 5.4.
