Rim brake (V-brake)
Brake modulator
Brakes have a brake modulator, or "power modulator." This device includes a small spring in the brake tube.As the brake lever is squeezed, you must
compress the spring before you can apply full stopping power to the rim.
This changes the way the brake feels, makes the application of braking force more gradual, and also makes the adjustment somewhat more responsive.
To adjust the alignment of the brake pads on a rim brake
1. Loosen the brake pad fixing bolt.
2. Align the brake pads as shown in the figure above. Tighten the brake pad fixing bolts.
3. After adjusting the brake, test it by pulling the lever. Make sure that the cable does not slip through the cable clamp, the brake pads mesh with the rim at
ninety degree angles, and the brake pads do not touch the rim.
To adjust the gap between the brake pads and the rim
1. Turn the pad adjuster located on the brake lever.

• To increase the clearance between the brake pads and the rim, turn the pad adjuster
clockwise.
• To decrease the gap, turn the pad adjuster counter-clockwise.
2. If the brake pads cannot be adjusted correctly with the pad adjuster, then
additional work is required:

Hub brakes
A hub brake, like a coaster brake, typically requires multiple frame accessories and multiple adjustments. Due to this complexity and the importance of
properly adjusting the brake for your safety, we strongly recommend that only your dealer or manufacturer make any adjustments to a hub brake or removal of
the wheel from the frame.
