4.5.2 Adjusting the grip width

The grip width of the brake levers must be

custom-adjusted so that the levers can be

operated easily and safely. Mechanical and

hydraulic brakes generally have an

adjustment screw on the brake lever

(see “Illustr.: Adjustment screw position”).

Turning the adjustment screw alters the

distance between the brake lever and the

handlebar grip. The position of the

adjustment screw may vary depending on

the brake design.

1. If applicable, remove the protective cap

from the adjustment screw.

2. Adjust the brake lever to the grip width

of your hand by loosening or tightening

the adjustment screw.

3. Check the minimum distance by

operating the brake lever.

x If the distance between the

operated brake lever and the

handlebar grip is less than

1 cm/0.4", adjust the cable tension

or pressure point (see the “Brake /

Adjustments / Adjusting the brake

cable tension in mechanical brakes”

chapter or “Brake / Adjustments

/ Adjusting the pressure point”

chapter).

4. If applicable, place the protective cap over the adjustment screw.

4.6 Pedals

The pedals are fastened to the cranks and operated by foot to power the cycle.

The cycle may be equipped with folding pedals, block pedals or clipless pedals,

depending on the cycle model.

x When fitting pedals, note that the right pedal has a right-hand thread and the left

pedal has a left-hand thread. In both cases, the pedal is tightened in the crank by

screwing it in the direction of travel. Both pedals are loosened by unscrewing them

counter to the direction of travel.
