SET-UP
V-BRAKES
Disconnect your brake as
seen in the picture. If you
have difculties, you can
unscrew the bolt holding
the cable or adjust the ne
adjuster on the brake lever to
remove tension.
Using a 5mm allen key, unti-
ghten the pad and align it on
the rim face. It should align like
shown in the picture. Whilst in
this position, tighten the pad to
the caliper. Repeat the process
on the opposite side.
For any maintenance, (adjust-
ment, replacement of brake
discs or brake pads etc.) please
refer to the corresponding ma-
nufacturer’s website.
For bikes with V brakes you
must manage the wear of the
brake pads and brake band on
the rim.
Please refer to the correspon-
ding manufacturer’s website.
Reconnect the brake cable.
Untighten the spring adjuster
bolts by a few turns.
If you have difculties with this
step you should seek profes-
sional assistance. Brakes are
an important security element,
and require correct and careful
set-up.
Untighten the cable bolt and
pull through the cable by hand.
When the pads are positionned
close to the rim (but not
touching), tighten the bolt to
x the cable.
Adjust the spring adjuster bolts
to align the pads evenly to the
rim.
Actuate the brake lever and
check the pads alignement
with the rim. If not, repeat the
process.
