For safety and ideal performance, the front and rear brakes should be tuned before
riding the bike. Brake pads should be regularly checked for wear.
A. Disengage the brakes using the rotating metal linkage (1). Use the included 5mm
allen wrench to loosen the nut behind the brake pad (2). Press the brake arm in
towards the wheel, and adjust the position of the pad until it is aligned with the top
edge of the rim. The brake pad should not be contacting the tire. Tighten the brake
pad nut to lock in the position. Repeat for other side.
B. Tighten the barrel adjuster (3) on the hand brake fully by turning counterclockwise.
Reattach the brake arms and loosen the barrel adjuster until the brake pads contact
the rim when the hand brake is depressed halfway.
C. Ensure that the spacing between the brake pads and the rim is even on both side.
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the pad tension screw (4) in order to
move the brake pad away from the rim. Loosen to move the brake pad closer.
WARNING! Check brake pads regularly for wear. If the brake pads are worn, have
reduced performance, or are squeaking/vibrating, they should be checked and serviced
by a certified and reputable bike mechanic.
