57OWNER’S MANUAL
• Brake lever ‘travel’ can be adjusted
for ease of use by a child or anyone
with small hands by means of the
adjuster screw usually located on the
body of the brake lever.
• NOTE: a brake lever with too little
‘travel’ before hitting the handlebar
may cause a linear brake to ‘lock up’
if the lever is pulled on hard. Longer
lever ‘travel’ allows more progressive
and better controlled braking. Adjust
to suit your riding style, or ask your
bicycle retailer to assist you make
the correct adjustment.
• NOTE: all components of a linear
brake must be compatible. Do not mix
brake types.
• The brake lever for a linear brake is not
designed to work with other types.
