system / Rim brakes in general / Changing a

brake pad” chapter. The brake block holders

are generally fastened to the brake with a

clip-type mechanism.

brake.

2. Remove this side of the brake from the

brake mount on the front fork or frame.

3. Remove the wheel (see the “Wheels

and tyres” chapter).
