3.5  Adjusting brake tension 

 

For V brakes (standard bike brakes): 

 

1.  Unscrew the bolt that holds the inner cable tension 

2.  Adjust the inner cable (lengthen it to lose the brake tension and tighten it 

to increase it) 

3.  Tighten the bolt 

 

For disc brakes: 

  Screw/unscrew (unscrew to loosen 

tension/screw  to  in-crease it)  the 

cable adjusting bolt until reaching 

the desired tension 

 

If this is not enough:  

  Use an Allen wrench to unscrew 

the cable fixing bolt and, while 

releasing the lever, manually 

position the cable to the desired 

position, then tighten the screw 

back 

 

Sometimes the brakes’ malfunc-

tioning is not due to the cable 

tension, but to the pads’ misplace-

ment, if this is the case: 

 

1.  Screw/unscrew the pad adjusting 

screw 

2.  Then adjust the centering by 

loosening the screws that hold the 

centering-adjustment holes tight, 

then move the whole caliper until 

the rotor is precisely in its centre 

3.  Tighten the screws back
