STEP 9. Front Brake
Assembly, Adjustment
There are two basic types of brakes: (1) disc brakes, where you see a large shiny disc brake
rotor. Some disc brakes are mechanically/cable actuated. Some disc brakes are hydraulically
actuated, use brake fluid within tubing. (2) rim brakes, where the brakes act on the wheel
rims. Some rim brakes have long arms and a linkage at the top of these arms. These are
called V brakes or Linear Pull Brakes. Some rim brakes form an arch over the wheel, are
typically seen on road bikes, these are called Caliper Brakes.
