Brake Balancing
Xootr LLC strongly recommends that the following procedures for brake pad balancing be
done by a qualified bicycle mechanic. For those with adequate bicycle maintenance
knowledge, the following steps for the adjustment are given below.
Both brake pads should make contact with the rim nearly at the same time. If one brake pad
rubs the rim before the other, then the brakes need balancing. Use a small Phillips
screwdriver to adjust the balancing screws. Each brake arm has a balancing adjustment
screw. On the side that is rubbing, turn the small adjustment screw clockwise (tighten). On
the side that is not rubbing, turn the small adjustment screw counterclockwise (loosen). Be
sure that the brake pads are set up correctly and are not worn prior to balancing.

Reflector Installation
There are two reflectors provided with your Swift. The white reflector should be installed
onto the riser. The red reflector can be installed nearly anywhere on the triangle frame. It
will be necessary to spread the clamp on the rear reflector a little bit to fit it over the frame,
but be careful not to spread it too much as it may cause the clamp to break. You will find it
easier to install the reflector if it is warm. Try using a hair dryer or heating gun to warm the
clamp of the reflector. This will make it a bit more pliable. Use a Phillips head screwdriver
to tighten the clamps on both reflectors. Do not over-tighten the clamps as this may cause
them to break.
