Adjusting:
The V-brakes have to be synchronized by
adjusting the spring preload using the
respective adjustment screws (A).
• When the brake lever pulls all the way to
the handlebar, the brake cable must be
readjusted.
• Loosen the knurled lock ring (B) where the
brake cable enters the brake lever.
• Turn slotted barrel adjuster (C) a few
turns. The free travel of the brake lever is
reduced.
• Hold the barrel adjuster (C) while tightening
the lock ring (B) firmly against it so that the
barrel adjuster is locked in place.
• Check that the slot in the screw does not
face upwards or forwards, as this can allow
water and dirt to get in.

Adjusting brake blocks against
the rim requires a good degree
of mechanical skill. Errors could
lead to brake failure and acci-
dents. If in any doubt, leave the
adjustment of brakes or chan-
ging brake blocks to your dealer.
Poorly adjusted brakes can lead
to serious accidents!
DANGER!
TIP!
Be sure to try the brakes in a
trac free area to get a feel for
the newly adjusted brakes!
