53OWNER’S MANUAL
• To adjust chain tension on a bicycle tted
with a back pedal brake or internally geared
hub with a single freewheel cog, the back
wheel must be moved forward or backward
in the dropouts. Loosen the axle nuts and
brake arm clip. Allow 10 -12mm of up /
down chain movement halfway between
chainring (front) and cog (rear). Re-tighten
nuts and brake arm clip.
• For back pedal brakes: check that the brake
arm clip is securely attached to the chain stay.
Note: Most brakes have some form of quick release
mechanism to allow the brake shoes to clear the
tyre when a wheel is removed or reinstalled. When
the brake quick release is in the open position, the
brake will not operate. Ask your bicycle retailer for
help. Make sure you understand the way the brake
quick release works on your bicycle.
