2.3 Adjusting the brakes:
Screwdriver
5 mm Allen Key
2.3.1 V-type front brake:
The front brake is operated by the left handle on the handlebar.
Tighten the nut on the brake handle fully. This adjustment will enable you to compensate later for the natural
slackening of the brake cable.
Then check :
- The pressure that the brake pads exert on the rim by tightening or loosening the nut with a screwdriver.
- The brake pads attached to the caliper are tightened with the 5mm Allen key.
The pads are in the right position when they are an equal distance from the wheel rim. The final adjustment is
made by tightening the screws on the brake shoes with a screw driver (a distance of about 0.1 to 0.5 mm
from the wheel rim).
