If additional brake adjusting is required you can bring the brake rubbers closer to the wheel rim by turning the
adjusting screw counter-clockwise. Be sure the cable is locked securely through the anchor bolt. Reset the cable
adjuster lock nut when adjustment is final.
WARNING:
If you have problems with the adjustment, please do not use the cycle and have the
brake repaired or adjusted at a bicycle service shop.
8. Cantilever brakes or V-brakes
The brake shoe/brake block by the V-brake/Cantilever brakes have to run parallel with the
rim. The distance between the brake blocks and the rim must be 2-3 mm. You can adjust this
distance by unscrewing the locknut. When the brake shoe/brake block can not be adjusted
with this locknut and the shoe/block is not yet wore out, than it is possible to adjust the brake
block straight to the brake or rim. Than first turn back the locknut at the brake grip for having
the possibility to adjust this later again. Than release the nut at the reverse side of the shoe/
block and slide the block closer to the rim. Screw down the nut very tight. Pay attention that
the left and the right brake shoe/brake block are adjusted at the same distance of the rim.
Important is, that the brake shoe/brake block is adjusted that high that during the brake, the
brake shoe/brake block not become under the rim. For further information, see our pictures.
