cannot spin freely in the Caliper, the Cable might
be too tight. Loosen the Cable Clamp Bolt and
allow the brake arm to move away from the
adjusting barrel – repeat steps 1 through 4 until
the wheel spins freely.
NOTE: An initial gap of 0.3mm (0.01 inch) is
recommended.

pads contact the Disc at approximately 1/3 lever
travel and stops the disc at approximately 2/3
lever travel.
7. Minor adjustment can be made by turning the Adjusting Barrel on the brake lever or the
Adjusting Barrel
C
on the Caliper. Turn the Adjusting Barrel OUT to tighten the brakes or
IN to loosen the brakes.
NOTE: Make sure the Adjusting Barrel threads are fully engaged. Check adjustment again.
8. If you cannot reduce the gap by turning the Adjusting Barrel, the brake pads might be
worn out and need to be replaced.
