5.
Turn the adjusting nut on the right side of the hub clockwise such that you feel
resistance to closing the lever when the lever is parallel to the centerline of the
hub.
6.
Firmly grip the fork with your left hand, and push the lever until it is at a 90º
angle to the centerline of the hub. The lever is securely tightened when it takes a
significant amount of force to position it in the closed position. The appropriate
amount of force necessary to close the lever when it is properly adjusted will
result in an imprint of the lever in the palm of your hand. Once closed, the
“OPEN” designation on the lever will no longer be visible. When properly
closed, it is impossible to move unless you open it again by reversing the steps
above. If you can easily move it, open the quick release lever and tighten the
adjusting nut another 180º and try again.
7.
Plug the lighting system power connector onto the dynamo hub connector as
shown in the photo below:
Align and Adjust the Front Brake Pads
The rear brakes are set-up and adjusted for you at the factory. However, the front brake
pads must be aligned and adjusted in the front caliper brake.
1.
Pinch the brake calipers together and pull the end cap and the cable guide out of
the linkage slot.
2.
Using a 5mm hex wrench, loosen the brake pad fixing bolt.
3.
Rotate the brake pad so that the curvature of the brake pad aligns with curvature
of the wheel rim (see photo below).
4.
Press each caliper brake arm toward the center of the bike, and align the caliper
brake pad vertically in the slot so that the pad fully contacts the side wall of the
wheel rim.
5.
Tighten the brake pad fixing bolt securely.
WARNING: If you are unsure about this brake set-up and adjustment
procedure, please take your bike to a qualified bike mechanic, and ask for
