InstructIon Manual
On some newer type cantilever brakes, the main brake cable continues through the central cable
carrier to an anchor bolt on one of the brake arms. a shorter link cable reaches from the carrier
and the hook on the other brake arm. adjustment of the cable length is made after loosening the
anchor bolt on the brake arm.
adjust the brake pad position so that it is parallel to the wheel rim and so that the leading edge
makes first contact.
To do this, fit an Allen key to the brake pad holding bolt, loosen the fixing nut and adjust. Move
the brake pad along it’s mounting post to alter the distance from the rim, and move the curved
adjustment washer to alter the angle of the pad.
on some models there is a spring-force adjustment screw on the brake arm which allows further
fine turning of the brake shoe position.
Bicycles with cantilever brakes must be fitted with safety devices to prevent a possible accident
in the event of the brake control cable or the straddle bridge becoming loose or braking whilst
riding.
these are usually the reflector brackets, and must be fitted front and rear. the bracket will
prevent the straddle cable fouling the wheel should it become disconnected from the control
cable. If reflector brackets are not fitted in this position, then alternative emergency cable safety
stops must still be fitted.
