TESTING BRAKE FUNCTIONS
As part of the initial assembly, you will need to check test the brake function and
adjust the brakes as necessary to make sure they are functioning properly. For
detailed instructions on brake adjustments, please see pages 115-117.
To test the function of the front hand brake, lift the front of the bike and spin the wheel. The wheel should
not rub on the brake pads. Next, squeeze the brake lever and take note of the brake pads contacting the
side of the wheel. The pads should contact the rim on both sides at the same time. Finally, hold the brake
lever firm and try to move the bike forward. The brake should hold well enough to keep the wheel from
moving. Repeat these steps for the rear wheel (see Figure 34).
DUAL SUSPENSION
Dual suspension bikes are equipped with a front fork as well as a rear suspension generally located below
the seat (see Figure 36). The rear suspension unit is a combination of a piston that works in conjunction with
a spring to allow the rear swing arm to rotate on a pivot point. Ensure all attaching hardware is secured and
there is no lateral movement of the rear triangle (see Figure 37). The amount of Rear Suspension travel can
be adjusted by turning the adjusting plate. Clockwise will increase spring tension and decrease travel, while
turning counterclockwise will decrease spring tension and increase travel. There are many different types of
suspension systems, too many to deal with individually in this manual.
