3. Screws for anchoring with the fork: to secure the brake arms to the fork.
4. Spring adjustment screw: to center the brake pads with the rim.
When adjusting the brake, we recommend turning the wheel after each modifi cation and
checking the braking eff ect and performance.
In addition to the four bolts on the brake itself, there is still the possibility of changing the
tension of the brake cable with the help of the adjustment screw for brake cable (also see
4.12). If you would like to know more to set the brake, have a look at the following:

6.3. Other common problems
The chain is rubbing
First, try to lubricate the chain; should the problem continue,
adjust the derailleur correctly, or take it to a specialist.
The wheel is “wobbling”
A light „wobbling“ is common for new bicycles, this is often the
sidewall, and after a few km of riding, it disappears automatically.
If the wobbling is too much and the brakes are touched, you
should take the bicycle in for repair.
Unusual sounds while
riding
Make sure the chain is suffi ciently lubricated, and is not stretched
too tightly. Again, tighten the screw at the bottom bracket
bearing and at the handlebar stem.
7. Inspection plan
Regular thorough inspections of the woom bikes by a skilled expert are extremely impor-
tant for the safety of your child. For this reason, we urgently recommend the following
inspection schedule:
After riding 200 km and at least once in a year, have the tires and wheels
checked for being undamaged and being in proper condition. Adjust the
tension of the brake cable, because it can expand after riding the new bike.
Have the gearshift adjusted, as well as the tightening torques on handlebars,
steering system, cranks, pedals, seat, seatpost and all mounting screws.
