2.3.2
Rear V-type brake:
The rear brake is operated by the right handle on the handlebar.
As with the front brake (see section
2.3.1
), tighten the nut on the brake handle fully. This adjustment will
enable you to compensate later for the natural slackening of the brake cable.
Loosen the cable clamp (see the photos for adjusting the front brake) and pull the cable until the pads are
touching the wheel rim.
Tighten the cable clamp (pay particular attention to each end of the sheath, which must fit easily into the rigid
connectors on the brake handle and V-Brake).
The pads are in the right position when they are an equal distance from the wheel rim. The final adjustment is
made by tightening the screws on the brake shoes with a screwdriver (a distance of about 0.1 to 0.5 mm from
the wheel rim).

Adjusting the 3- or 7-speed Nexus:
The Nexus should be adjusted by a specialist. In theory, the Nexus does not require any maintenance, but the
cable may gradually slacken.
