4. Screw the lower cable adjusting barrel into (or out of) the lower plate until they are as close to the bearing as they can get without
touching it.
5. Screw the cable adjuster on the upper cable splitter out until all slack is removed from the upper cable. Then screw the cable adjuster out
one more turn to raise the bearing an additional 1mm away from the lower cable adjusting barrels.
CAUTION: Don’t screw the cable adjuster on the upper cable splitter out more than 8mm. Use the cable adjuster on the rear brake
lever if more adjustment is needed.
6. Check for bearing flop by placing the handlebars in the normal riding position, then quickly rotate the handlebars back and forth. Perform the
following steps to eliminate bearing flop.
NOTE:
The bearing should never be allowed to rest on the lower plate or lower cable adjusting barrels.
a.)
Screw the lower cable adjusting barrels out of (or into) the lower plate until all bearing flop is eliminated.
b.)
Tighten the locknut of the right adjusting barrel on the lower cable.
c.)
Rotate the handlebars 180 degrees and recheck for bearing flop. If there is any bearing flop, use the loose adjusting barrels on the
upper and lower cable to remove it.
d.)
Repeat steps (6a) and (6c) until the handlebars can be rotated 360 degrees without any bearing flop.
7. Finish adjusting the rear brakes.
WARNING!
DO NOT LOCK UP BRAKES. SUDDEN OR EXCESSIVE APPLICATION OF THE FRONT BRAKE MAY PITCH THE RIDER
OVER THE HANDLEBARS, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. WHEN BRAKING, ALWAYS APPLY THE REAR BRAKE FIRST,
THEN THE FRONT.
WARNING! DO NOT RIDE THE BICYCLE UNTIL THE BRAKES ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. TO TEST, APPLY THE BRAKES
WHILE TRYING TO PUSH THE BIKE FORWARD TO MAKE SURE THEY WILL STOP THE BICYCLE. NEVER RIDE A BICYCLE THAT IS
NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. PRESS EACH BRAKE LEVER TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO BINDING AND THAT THE BRAKE
PADS PRESS HARD ENOUGH ON THE RIMS TO STOP THE BIKE. THE BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE ADJUSTED SO THEY ARE 1mm TO
2mm AWAY FROM THE RIM WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED. BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE CENTERED ON THE RIM AND
“TOED-IN” SO THE REAR PORTION OF EACH BRAKE PAD IS ABOUT 0.5 - 1.0mm FARTHER FROM THE RIM THAN THE FRONT
PORTION OF THE BRAKE PAD.
