U-BRAKES
Begin by adjusting the pads of the U-brakes using a 10mm wrench. Make sure the pad is hitting the rim and not the tire. Ideally the front
of the pad should hit the rim approximately 1mm before the rear pad.
Front U-Brake: Slide the brake cable and housing through the Housing Barrel and through the cable anchor bolt. Set the cable
clearance of 1mm between the brake pads and the rim. Tighten the cable anchor bolt. All instructions shown are if you are looking at
the bike from the front. For brake adjustments, use a 13mm box end wrench and a 5mm hex wrench. Loosen the 5mm hex bolt. For the
drive side (left) of the bike turn the spring tension nut with a 13mm box end wrench counter-clockwise to increase tension on the
spring. For the non-drive side (right), turn spring tension nut with a box end wrench clockwise to increase tension on the spring. When
the desired tension is achieved hold the tension nut with the 13mm wrench and tighten the 5mm hex bolt. The tension on each side
should be equal so that the brake arms move the same distance when the brake is activated.
