Brakes
9.1 Desired alignment brakes (V-brakes)
The brakes are to be aligned so when squeezing the handle bar for a quarter (9.1),
the complete surface of the calliper brakes are pushed to the rim. (9.2)
9.2 Coarse tuning brakes
When the alignment of the brakes shows a big deviation to the desired alignment,
you will first have to adjust the coarse tuning of the brakes. The coarse tuning of the
brakes can be adjusted by using a hex key to unscrew the cable clamp bolt. Next
you will be able to use thumb and index finger to squeeze the brakes to the desired
space. (9.4) Make sure the brake cord stays under the clamp bolt and then secure
the clamp bolt by twisting.
9.3 Brake adjustments
Using the cable bolt(secured there where the brake cord leaves the brake lever)
you’re able to adjust the brakes. By twisting the cable bolt inwards the tension on
the cord is released and by twisting it outwards tension is enlarged (9.5).
9.4 Replacing calliper brakes
The calliper brakes should be replaced when the indentation have worn off (9.6)
