• Adjust the brake position using the spring tension
screws (16) so that each brake pad makes contact
with the rims simultaneously.
• Change brake pads when necessary using the same
type of brake pads as the bike was originally
equipped with. Brake pads should be positioned
(toe-in) angled inwards with the brake pad’s leading
edges approximately 1 mm from the rim. The brake
pads have spherical washers for adjustment purposes.
5.2 Coaster brake
The coaster brake cannot be adjusted.
Warning:
Make sure that the brake arm (36) is securely
fastened, otherwise it will not function properly. This can cause the rear wheel to lock and
increase the risk for personal injury.
5.3 Checking for rim wear
The effectiveness of your brakes also depends on
the condition of your rims. These must be checked
regularly for wear. Good rims are an important safety
feature. The sides of your rims come under strain during
braking and may eventually develop cracks. Because
of this your rims are equipped with wear indicators.
These are in the form of grooves etched onto the side of
the rims where the brake pads make contact.
These grooves must remain visible. The wheels need to
be replaced once these grooves can no longer be seen.
Warning:
If worn rims are not replaced, they make cause
the wheels to lock during braking which can greatly
increase the risk for personal injury.
6. Checking/adjusting the gears
Set the shifter (3) in
second
gear.
Make sure the gear indicator is between the window’s
(40) indicator lines. If not; adjust with the bellcrank
adjustment barrel (39) and then tighten the lock nut
behind the barrel after adjustment.
