Brake adjustment

Your brakes are preadjusted at the factory, but if they require
adjustment, flip the Trikke over. Using a 2mm Allen wrench (not
supplied), release the cable. A small access hole is drilled through the
wheel mount plate to allow you to get the wrench to the cable stay. The
cable stay is a barrel shaped object through which the cable runs with
an Allen screw at one end to lock the cable in place. Adjust the brake
lever position to one eighth of an inch from the wheel. Firmly tighten the
cable stay and stow the remaining cable by loosely twisting it back
around itself.

Return the Trikke to its upright position and depress the brakes firmly
several times to stretch the cables. After riding for several hours, check
the tension of the brake cables. If the brake levers depress all the way
to the handgrip, use the brake lever tension adjusters (found where the
cable enters the brake handle) to optimize braking effectiveness. 

Before riding your Trikke for the first time, please take a few minutes to
go over the following Trikke Riding Tips and Razor Safety Tips and pass
it on to friends and other new riders.
