WARNINGS:
• In case of rain or damp weather, braking distances are longer. It is
recommended to anticipate braking in such a situation.
• If turning and braking, the handlebars can have a negative influence on the
cyclist's response time.
1. Adjusting the V-brakes
The pads exert a pressure directly on the wheel rims. The intensity of the pressure is controlled by a
lever connected to the brake by a cable. Do not operate the brake lever when the wheel is detached
from the frame.
• Position the calliper arms vertically and parallel using the correct cable tension. Once the cable
position has been defined, tighten the cable with the appropriate screw.
• Align the pad with the side of the wheel rim.
• Adjust the distance between the pads and the wheel rim, from 1 to 3 mm, to get better braking.
• Move the rear of the pad slightly away from the wheel rim.
