Adjusng the Brake Pads
Important! Before riding the bicycle it is important to check the
brakes. If you squeeze the brake lever and one brake arm moves
more than the other (or not at all) the brake is not centered. You
will need to ne-tune the brake pads. Mulple adjustments may
be necessary to center the brake pads, correctly set the brake
pressure and set the gap between the brake pad and rim.
❶ Check that all brake pads are aligned correctly. If not, use a
5 mm Allen wench and loosen the bolt enough so you can
reposion the pad. Posion the pad so it is evenly centered
on the rim. Reghten the bolt aer posioning the pad
correctly. Figure 4.10

Rotate the wheel and look straight down at the gap between
the rim, brake pads and fork. If you nd the gap between these
are uneven it indicates the wheel, the brake pads, or both are
not centered.
❶ If you see the gap between the fork and wheel is uneven
loosen the axle nuts and adjust the wheel unl centered.
