Adjusting the Cable Tension
❶ Check that the brake cable tension allows the brake lever
about 1/3 of the travel before the brake pads contact the
disc rotor. If the cable has stretched or slipped, re-adjust the
brake cable tension.
Figure 4.21
❷ At the caliper body, or brake lever, slightly loosen the jam
nut that is next to the adjustment barrel.
Figure 4.22
❸ Turn the adjustment barrel to adjust the cable tension.
Turning clockwise will loosen the brake cable tension,
counter-clockwise will tighten the brake cable tension.
❹ Re-check that the brake cable tension allows the brake lever
about 1/3 of the travel before the brake pads contact the
disc rotor. When you have the brake tension you want then
tighten the jam nut.
Brake is correctly adjusted when:
• The brake pads do not drag on the disc rotor.
• Both brake pads move away from the disc rotor equally when
the brake is released.
• When the brake is applied, the brake pads contact the disc
rotor before the brake lever reaches about 1/3 of the way to
the handlebar.
After brake adjustment, squeeze the brake lever as hard as you
can several times and re-inspect if the wheel and brake pads are
centered. If necessary, repeat brake adjustments.
