BRAKE ADJUSTMENT:
A separate owners’ manual is provided with full details on brake maintenance
and adjustment. Please read for full information.
The brakes are self adjusting to a point, but correct alignment is vital to get the
maximum performance. The pads must be equidistant from the disc for maximum
efficiency.
Visually inspect the pads as you spin the wheel. Check that alignment is good
and pad to disc distance is even. If adjustments are needed follow the
instructions below:
- Using an allen wrench, loosen the caliper mounting bolts, allowing the caliper
to move freely from left to right.
- With the wheel raised, pull the brake lever. This will allow the caliper to ‘center’
on the disc.
- With the lever still holding the pads tightly on the disc, re-tighten the caliper
bolts.
- If the wheel does not spin freely with the brake released and further adjustment
is required beyond the limits of the built in adjustment, the caliper position itself
can be adjusted further by the use of spacer washers. In this way, the caliper
can be lined up perfectly.
