Moving the screw fixing (old style) brake:
Fig 4.7.2
To move the brake assembly, use a 3mm
hexagon key and 8mm spanner to remove
the rear brake linkage screw making a note
of the position of the spacers (see below)
Fig 4.7.3
Using a 4mm hexagon key and 10mm spanner, remove the two back plate retaining
screws, tube support bushings and brake spacer taking note of the position of the locknut
and washers. Remove the caps from the 3
rd
mounting hole using a small flat bladed
screwdriver, then refit the screws making sure that the tube support bushing is placed
through the tube, and the brake spacer is correctly positioned (see photos below).

Fig 4.7.5
Once complete, refit the caps into the open hole
(these simply push into place), and reassemble
the rear brake linkage.
Finally adjust the brakes as described in section
4.6.
Moving the clamp fixing (new style) brake:
To move the clamp fixing brake, loosen the 2 x nuts ‘G’ (see Fig 4.6.3, above), then slide
the entire brake assembly along the rear frame tube until the brake block is sitting close to
the rear tyre in the unlocked position. Tighten the 2 x nuts ‘G’ and test the brake. If
necessary adjust the brake position to ensure it locks securely.
