02 Adjust
Turn the brake handles and grips
to the desired angle. Try doing this
while in the saddle to work out the
most comfortable position for you.
01 Good ergonomics
Most people prefer their brake
levers fixed at roughly a 45° angle
from the ground — this is how they
come pre-installed. If you would
like to make small adjustments
to the angle, first loosen the screw
under each brake using Allen
key 5 as shown.
03 Tighten
Tighten the screw as shown using
Allen key 5. Make sure it’s nice and
tight so that the brake levers don’t
rotate, taking care to not overtighten.
