Make sure that the brake cable is not too loose
and securely re-tighten the brake adjuster screw.
If there is now excess brake cable sticking out,
you will need to tuck this behind the brake arm.
Hook the excess into the slot located on the rear
of the brake arm, so that it is secure.
Using the tool provided, loosen the brake
adjuster screw until you can move the
brake cable.
If you need to loosen the brake cable, push the
brake cable through a little. If you need to tighten
the brake cable, pull the brake cable through a
little.
Minor adjustments can be made at the brake levers, but you may need to tighten at the cable as the
brakes wear down. The brakes should be adjusted so that, when the brake arms are pulled to the
halfway travel position, the whole of the brake pads’ surface rests against the wheel rim.
