5.2.2 Adjusting the pressure point

With hydraulic brakes, minor break pad wear

is offset via the pressure point adjustment

screw (see “Illustr.: Adjustment screw

position”). The adjustment screw is generally

located on the brake lever. Brakes without an

adjustment screw have the distance adjusted

automatically.

The distance between the rim and brake pad

is increased or decreased depending on the

turning direction.

x For rim brakes, gradually turn the adjustment screw until the distance between the

rim and each brake pad is 1–2mm/0.04–0.08" .

x Ensure that the brake block holders meet the rim simultaneously on both sides.

x Ensure that the wheel turns smoothly (see the “Wheels and tyres / Rims and

spokes” chapter).

x For disc brakes, gradually turn the adjustment screw until the desired pressure

point is reached.
