Characteristics of Shimano Nexave brakes and some models
from different manufacturers with power modulator
The V-brakes of the Shimano Nexave system and some Dia-Compe models have
a power modulator (b), which is located on the upper side of the brake arms or
directly integrated into the brake levers. It prevents over-braking of the front wheel
and reduces the risk of a crash.
If you want to adjust the power modulator, ask your local FELT dealer for help. If
you want to adjust it by yourself, it is absolutely necessary to read the manufactur-
ers’ instructions or ask your FELT dealer. After every adjustment, check the brake
stationary first and then in a place clear of traffic to get a feeling for it.
Characteristics of the extra brake levers with cyclocross bikes
Additional brake levers are mounted to the handlebars (c) of the cyclocross bike
series to ensure braking from a secure handlebar position even when riding in
tricky terrain. These brake levers can be used on an equal footing with the other
road bike brake levers. It is impossible to simultaneously use both brake levers of
one brake.
These brake levers are equipped with adjusting bolts (d) which allow for a readjust-
ment of the cable, as described above.
