Rear Brake
Figure 3.5.4
With the chain wrapped around
both the right crank arm chainring and
the rear hub sprocket, pull the rear wheel
backwards to make the chain taut, center
the front of the wheel in the frame chain
stays, and tighten the acorn nuts with the 15
mm wrench, first right side then left. A taut
chain should only move about ½” if lifted at
a point midway between the chain ring and
hub sprocket.
Figure 3.5.5
The rear brake
caliper is adjusted exactly as
described for a front brake
caliper.
Figure 3.5.6
Both
brake levers have a
parking brake pin
to hold the brake
lever in a squeezed
position. If the
parking brake does
not hold, unscrew
the brake lever
barrel adjuster.
Figure 3.5.7
To install the 3 wheel
reflectors onto the spokes, position
the reflector between spokes and
rotate so the reflector ends snap
around the spokes.
Figure 3.6.1
At the grip on the right pole, twist the
shifter to gear 1. At the rear hub, pull the shifter
cable taut and make sure the length of cable from the
ferrule to the center of the clamping screw is 101 mm
(4 in). If not, loosen the nut with the 10 mm wrench,
adjust to 101 mm and tighten.
Figure 3.6.2
Slide the flats of the clamping screw with nut facing outward into the
oblong slot at the 10 o’clock position of the cassette pulley. Ease the shifter cable
housing forward through the frame so the shifter cable lies in the pulley groove
from the 10 to 6 o’clock position. Insert the 2 mm hex wrench into the tab with a
hole at the 9 o’clock position of the pulley and rotate the spring-loaded cassette
pulley ¼ turn counter clockwise.
Figure 3.6.3
While holding the wrench at the 6
o’clock position pull the shifter cable housing
forward until the cable can be slid into the slot
of the arm of the cassette pulley, push the black
plastic ferrule on the end of the cable housing
into the socket, then return the wrench to the
9 o’clock position making sure the cable lies in
the groove under the cassette pulley.
