1.
A tension adjustment nut is located at the point where the brake cable inserts into the brake
handle. There is also a tension adjustment at the other end of the brake cable where it inserts
into the brake mechanism near the rear wheel.
These adjustment nuts can be used to tighten the cable or loosen if brakes are too tight and
not allowing the rear wheels to roll freely.
2.
Brakes are adjusted to the optimal tension during manufacturing and should not require
adjustment when new. Over time as rear wheels wear and reduce in diameter, brakes will
become loose and will need to be tightened
