ADJUSTING THE BRAKES
Adjust the brakes by turning the adjusting nuts located at the junction of the
brake cable and brake lever. When you have determined the proper setting,
turn the knurled knob at the shaft of the adjusting bolt all the way down to the
brake lever to lock the brake setting in place.
The right brake lever controls the rear brake. To tighten brakes, turn the
adjusting nut clockwise. To loosen brakes, turn the adjusting nut
counterclockwise.
The left brake lever controls the front brake. To tighten brakes, turn the
adjusting nut counterclockwise. To loosen brakes, turn the adjusting nut
clockwise.
Note: Left and right brake controls are reversed in some countries. Check
your levers and brakes to be sure you know which lever operates which brake.
Brake Testing
Squeeze the brake levers. The brake levers should be easy for you to reach, and
engage the brakes completely when pulled in. You should not be able to pull
the brake lever in until it touches the handlebar or grip. Test the brakes and the
brake lever adjustment; you should be able to comfortably control your brakes.
If the brake is adjusted too loose, the extra play will cause insufficient braking
power. The play is properly adjusted if the brake pads meet the rim fully when
the brake lever is pulled one-third of the way.
