As brake pads and cables wear, slack can be taken up by the barrel
adjusters. If the lever touches the handlebars, the brake cable is too loose. If
you can barely squeeze it at all, the cable is too tight.
If the brake lever is too loose, adjust the barrel adjuster away from the brake
lever housing; this creates extra tension on the brake cable (1). Then tighten
the brake adjuster nut to secure the position (2).
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
If the brake lever is too tight, adjust the barrel adjuster towards the brake
lever housing; this action relieves the tension on the brake cable (1). Then
tighten the brake adjuster nut to secure the position (2).
