8.4.5.2 Cable-operated rim brake
(Alternative equipment)
The setting bolt on the brake lever of the cable-operated
rim brake is adjusted to offset the brake lining wear.
The free travel is the distance brake lever travels from
the initial position until it reaches its action point, i.e.
the point at which the brake takes effect.
In order to reduce the free travel and offset the
brake lining wear, screw the setting bolt out.
In order to increase the free travel, screw the setting
bolt in.
When the ideal setting has been made, the action
point is reached after 10 mm of free travel.

(Alternative equipment)
