Brake Adjustment
Note: When the front wheel is installed properly, the disc brake rotor should be centered
between the brake pads, recheck the disc brake is installed well in the following steps. DO
NOT pull on the lever before the wheel is installed. It may cause the brake pads to bind
together making it is difficult to separate them without the proper tools and expertise.
1. With the front wheel installed, the disc brake rotor should be centered between the
brake pads, and securely fastened to the wheel. Use a 4, 5, or 6mm Allen Key to
check the rotor mounting bolts to ensure that none of the bolts are loose.
2. Ensure that the mounting bolts on the disc brake are evenly tightened. If not, the
disc brakes will be out of alignment with the rotor and you will not be able to brake
efficiently or safely.
3. Adjust the brake: Loosen the pad adjustment screw (Y) by turning it counter
clockwise one or two clicks. This operation creates appropriate clearance between
the brake pad
(X) and disc brake rotor on the inboard side. Check that both
clearances between the disc brake rotor (Z) and brake pads are equal: inboard side
= outboard side (Figure 5).
4. To test the function of the front brake, lift the front of the bike and spin the wheel.
The wheel should not rub on the brake pads. Next, squeeze the brake lever and
take note of the brake pads contacting the brake rotor. The pads should contact
the rotor on both sides at the same time. Finally, hold the brake lever firm and try
to move the bike forward. The brake should hold well enough to keep the wheel
from moving.
Repeat these steps for the rear wheel.
