ASSEMBLING THE BRAKES

 

 

 

Beforehand, check that the tyres pressure is equal to 1,5 bar. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
1. Unfasten 2 buckles on the front straps under the seat. 
2.  Position  the  lower  part  of  the  brake  block  under  the  tube  in  contact  with  the 
camcleat at the front. 
3. Position the upper part of the brake block on the frame tube in contact and at the 
front of the camcleat, then tighten the upper part of the brake block by tightening the 2 
screws alternately. 

 Caution: the tightness between the upper part and the block must be practically 

the  same  on  both  sides.  Ensure  that  the  stem  is  horizontal  in  relation  to  the  tyre 
before finishing the tightening.  
4. Position the brakes camcleats and loosely screw in the tightening screws to be able 
to adjust the camcleats.  
5. Lock the brake by jamming the handle on the camcleat (the stainless steel stem is 
then in contact with the tyre). 
6.  Position  the  camcleat  by  exaggerating  the  locking  of  the  brake  on  the  wheel  and 
tighten the camcleat screws.  
7. Verification:  
- the brakes blocks mut be stable on the frame tubes (no sliding or rotating).  
- the locking brakes must block the tyres by pressing them for an efficient braking.  
 
NB: the serial number of the brakes is engraved on each stainless steel stems of the 
brakes. 

 

Adjusting the harness: pull on the buckles at the ends of the harness straps to tighten them. Quick removal: 
unfasten the 4 buckles.  

The push bar must already be assembled.  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
Position the harness 
 
1. Place the upper harness straps in the handlebar clasps and fasten them (Figure 9). 
2. Slide the lower harness strap through the loops (for each side). 
3.  Place  the  lower  straps  outside  the  flanges,  between  the  seat  and  the  frame  tube, 
then pull the strap up after passed it beneath the tube. 
4. Slide the strap back through the loop and tighten. (Figure 10)  
5. Verifications:  
- the positioning direction of the harness (check the figures 9 and 10).  
- check the locking straps by stretching on each strap, the assembly must be stable.
