Installing the brake cables
Squeeze the brake lever to the maximum
and insert the end of the brake cable
into the round lug (1). Insert the cable
into the groove and tighten the set
screw (2) and the nut (3). Repeat the
process with the other brake. The rear
brake cable is usually mounted on the
right brake lever and the front brake
cable on the left.

Check that the brake pads move away
from the rim su iciently (1–2 mm) when
the brake lever is re-leased. The distance
of the brake pads can be adjusted by
tightening or loosening the brake cable
anchor bolt (1). If the brake pads come
into contact with the rim while the wheel
spins, adjust the spacing of the brake
arms symmetrically with the tensioning
bolts (2).

Adjusting the angle of the brake levers
On both brake levers loosen the screw
on the sleeve. For the best results, stand
on the footrest, grab the handlebars and
stretch your fingers so they extend in
a straight line from your hands. Set the
brake levers in this position and tighten
the two mounting screws.

rim. If not, adjust the screw (2), which

of the V- brakes. The brake pads must
not touch the tyre.
