Brakes
Gears
The right lever operates the front brake, the left lever operates the rear brake.
Check their operation before riding.
The brake levers can be adjusted to match the reach of your child’s hands
using a 2mm Allen key to wind the bolt on the lever mount as shown.
Clockwise decreases the reach to the lever, anti-clockwise increases the
reach.
Adjusting the lever will change the brake pad which may need to be adjusted,
see ‘Brakes’ section on p13.
Our HERO 20” and 24” bikes are fitted with Shimano Nexus 3 hub gears. They
are operated by a hand twist grip. They are fantastic for children as they can be
shifted whilst moving or stationary, are virtually maintenance free and simple
to use.
Our HERO 14” and 16” are singlespeed and fitted with a Shimano freewheel
hub.
