Pull the cable outward, reducing the distance between
the brake pads and the rim by about 1/4 inch on both
sides. Retighten the adjustment screw.

Make sure the pads are evenly lined up with the rim. If
the pads rub against the tire, they are too high; if they
don’t make full contact with the rim when braking, they
are too low.
Adjust the positions by holding the brake pad with one
hand and loosening the nut on the back with a 5mm
Allen key.

If one pad seems to run against the rim while the other
still has plenty of space, you will need to center the
brakes. To do this, adjust the spring tensioner screws
located at the base of each brake arm.
Tightening the screw on the right brake arm pushes the
right brake pad away from the rim, and the left brake pad
towards the rim.
Loosening the right screw allows the right brake pad to
move closer to the rim, and the left brake pad away from
the rim.
