2.3 Adjusting the brakes:
5 mm Allen Key
Screwdriver
2.3.1
Front V-Brake
(Kalyso)
:
The front brake is operated by the left handle on the handlebar.
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 and pull the cable until the pads touch the wheel rim. Tighten the cable clamp (pay
particular attention to each end of the tubing 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).
The result of your adjustment is correct when the wheel turns freely and stops smoothly.
