U-Brake
If the brake cable is not connected at the brake lever, slide the head of the brake cable
into the brake lever per the diagram, and thread the cable through the slot in the brake
lever so the cable end rests squarely in the adjustment barrel or cable end rests in the
recess of the brake lever. (Fig. 3.16)
Brake adjustment
Check to be sure the cable is seated in the brake lever. Loosen the cable anchor bolt
just enough to allow the cable wire to move freely. With your le hand squeeze the
caliper brake unl both brake pads contact the rim. While holding the brake closed
with your le hand, use your right hand to pull the brake cable ght (through the cable
anchor) again inspecng that the cable end is seated in the brake lever, and the barrel
adjuster of the brake. Tighten the cable anchor as much as you can by hand, and then
while sll squeezing the brake, ghten the cable anchor fully with a wrench.
