2.3 Adjusting the Brakes

For safe riding it is crucial that your bicycle’s brakes function correctly. Over time,

the bicycle’s brake pads wear and the control cables stretch. For this reason,

brakes should be inspected prior to every ride, and adjusted as necessary. This

ensures proper operation.

The eBike should be taken to a professional bike shop twice yearly for

routine check-ups.

Lubrication – Caliper Brakes

At least once every three months, lubricate the brake lever and the brake caliper

pivot with 2-3 drops of light oil. This will help to limit wear and tear and ensure smooth operation. At least once every six months,

remove cables from their casings and grease along their entire length. Prior to tting any new cable, always apply grease.

Adjustment – Sidepull Calipers

To make minor brake adjustments use the barrel cable adjuster, usually found at the upper

cable arm. Use the following outline as a guide.

Step 1. Squeeze the brake pads against the rim and loosen the lock nut.

Step 2. Set the adjuster so there is approximately 1.5mm - 2mm clearance between the brake

pad and the rim.

Step 3. Refasten the lock nut. If the clearance between the brake pad and the rim cannot

be set to 2mm or less using the above process, the cable length may need to be altered.

To do this:

1. Screw the barrel adjuster in completely.

2. Press the pads against the rim.

3. Unfasten the cable anchor bolt and use pliers to pull the cable through.
