You can alter the amount of braking pressure
by altering the travel of the brake lever and by
the proximity of the brake pads to the brake
disc.
To alter the travel of the brake lever adjust
screw A (see fig. 13), unscrew screw A reduce
the amount of lever travel and by tightening it
increase the lever travel. If you have fully
unscrewed screw A and the lever travel is still excessive you will have to
adjust the space between the pads and the disc.
Tighten screw A (Fig.13) up to the brake level. Go to Fig.14 and insert an
allen key into the smaller hole inside allen key hole B. Rotating the allen
key clockwise pushes the outer brake pad forward by approx.0.8mm After
each turn, check the braking performance.
Once the correct amount of travel has been reached, centre the brake
Calliper on the disc by adjusting screw C(Fig.15).when the brake pads
are centered on the disc the wheel should spin freely, though there may
be a slight amount of noise until the pads “bed” in.
If your cycle came from, or has recently been overhauled by a
professional repair shop. you should be able to maintain good braking
performance by adjuster screw C ( refer to Fig.15)
Once the correct amount of travel has been reached, center the brake
caliper on the disc by adjusting screw C (fig.15). When the brake pads are
centered on the disc the wheel should spin freely, though may be a slight
amount of noise until the pad bed in.
