BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Front V
-
brake:
A visual check will show if the brake pads are engaging the rim properly. If they are not, the
brake pad fixing bolt can be loosened slightly, brake lever squeezed to ‘seat’ the pad then
retightened to fix in place. Repeat for both sides (
picture 1).
Brake pads should meet the rim at the same time, if they do not the spring tension for each arm
can be adjusted via the small tension screw on the side. Turning the screw clockwise will
increase the spring tension in that brake arm (
picture 2).

Rear Band brake:
The rear brake requires little adjustment, if the brake lever is pulling too far the cable may need
adjustment. To do this, adjust the barrel adjuster on the bottom of the brake
(picture 3.)
For more adjustment, undo the cable clamp on the band brake and pull the cable through.
