to the handlebar, the brake is too loose.

When brakes are not applied, the brake

pads should be .25-.75mm away from

the disc. If the pads are too near to the

disc, the brake is not in line or it is too

tight and the brake should be adjusted.

Examine the Steering

Make sure the stem is in line with the

front wheel and correctly attached to the

fork and handlebar.

To examine the connection to the fork,

try to turn the handlebar from side to side

while you hold the front wheel between

your knees (Fig. 7).

To examine the connection of the

handlebar, try to twist it in the stem. The

handlebar should not move or be loose.

Follow the inspection instructions for the

type of brake equipped on your bicycle:

•

Hand-rim brake

: a cable connects

a hand lever to the brake. The lever

causes brake pads to apply pressure

to the rim. Pull the lever to make sure

the brake moves freely and stops the

bicycle. If the lever can be pulled to the

handlebar, the brake is too loose. When

brakes are not applied, brake pads

should be 1 to 2mm from rim. If brake

pads are too near the rim, brake is too

tight. The brake pads should be in line

with the rim surface (Fig. 6, page 13)

•

Disc brake

: a cable or hydraulic hose

connects a hand lever to the brake. The

lever causes the brake to apply

pressure to a disc attached to the hub.

Pull the brake lever to make sure

the brake moves freely and stops the

bicycle. If the brake lever can be pulled

Never ride a bike with an improperly

adjusted handlebar or stem as this

can cause you to lose control of the

bike, leading to serious injury or death.

Also, handlebar ends that are not

plugged or covered can cut in a crash.

WARNING

Fig. 7:

Try to turn the

handlebars while

holding the front

wheel between

your knees.

Disc brakes and discs get very hot

during use and could burn skin. Also,

the disc edges can be sharp and could

cut skin. Do not touch the disc or disc

brake when it turns or when hot.

CAUTION
