Disc Brakes (if equipped)
If fitted with a front disc brake, the components should already be
attached. However, please check all connections before attempting
to ride the bicycle. Secure tightly the 6 bolts that hold the disc to the
front wheel hub and the 2 bolts that hold the brake mechanism to
the fork. Insert the front wheel into the fork dropouts ensuring that the
disc fits into the brake mechanism between the enclosed brake pads.
Secure the front wheel to the bicycle by tightening the quick release
mechanism and clamping the lever to the closed position. Please refer
to section 6 for further instruction on quick release mechanisms.
Next, attach the cable to the brake lever by inserting the cable end
into the cable end holder after the barrel adjuster and lock nut slots
have been aligned with the cable end holder. After the cable is
secured to the lever, rotate the barrel adjuster and lock nut so the
slots no longer line up. Ensure the cable housing seats appropriately
into the end of the barrel adjuster and check for any kinks or damage.
Slide the exposed brake cable through the rotating rod/housing stop
located on the caliper body and seat the housing all the way into the
same stop. Insert the cable into the spring and spring boot.
Next, slide the cable through the cable anchor and pull all the slack
out. Secure the cable in place by tightening the bolts that comprise
the anchor assembly. Some disc brakes will have a centering devise
while others are a free-floating mechanism. If your caliper body is
equipped with centering bolts, apply the brake lever after the cable has
been connected. While engaging the lever, tighten the centering bolts
securely. This will center the caliper body on the disc.
DISC GETS HOT! Severe injury could result from
contact with the hot disc! Mind your legs, as well
as your hands.
