Risk of accident caused by malfunctioning or locking brakes
due to loose screw connections.
- Check the required tightening torque of all screw
connections after the first 500km (310miles) –
re-tighten the connections if necessary.
If not properly performed, assembly and maintenance work
could cause accidents resulting in death or serious injury.
- Do not overestimate your technical ability.
- All assembly and maintenance work should be performed
by a specialist workshop for bicycles. This is the only way
to ensure that work is conducted in a professional
manner.
THM assumes no liability for direct or indirect damage
resulting from negligence or improper use and installation
of the Fibula spring.

ADJUSTING CABLE TENSION
Check the gaps between the brake pads and the braking
rim. These must be equal on both sides and should be
between 1 and 1.5mm (0.04 and 0.06in).
If necessary, adjust the gap by actuating the nut
(4) on
the adjuster - when doing this hold the lower part of the
adjuster with your other hand.
Turn the nut
(4) anti-clockwise.
The gap is increased.
Turn the nut
