BRAKE LEVER ADJUSTMENT
Make sure that the brake levers are adjusted to a comfortable angle for the rider. Both brake levers can
be adjusted by loosening the clamp bolt and rotating the lever into the desired position. Once the lever is
positioned, re-tighten the bolt. Make sure both levers are set at the same angle.
Check to make sure that the lever is tight. It should not move on the handlebar when tightened properly.
The reach of the brake levers can also be adjusted. A screw changes the point where the lever rests.
This is useful for riders with small hands. Simply use a Standard Phillips Head Screwdriver to adjust
this (see Figure 60).
SHIFTER ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the angle of the shifters, loosen the clamp bolt and rotate the shifter into the desired position.
Once the shifter is positioned, re-tighten the bolt. Repeat for the other side, making sure they are set at
the same angle. Check to make sure the shifter is tight. It should not move on the handlebar when
tightened properly
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Always make sure your brakes are properly adjusted before riding (see Page 109,
Testing Brake Functions).
Brake Pads
• Ensure that the wheel is properly centered within the dropouts and is not out of true (see Figure 61).
• Using a 4, 5, or 6 mm Allen wrench adjust the brake pad bolts so the brake pads are in line with the the
curve of the wheel, striking the upper edge of the braking surface, but not the tire. Tighten the brake pad
bolts once they are positioned correctly.
• In addition to being centered on the rim, the front of the pad (towards the front of the bike) should contact
the rim slightly before the rest of the pad.
WARNING: Make sure your brake pads never make contact with your tires. If your brake pads rub on the
tires, it will cause irreparable damage to your tire and tube, and may result in a popped tire and could
cause a loss of control resulting in serious injury or even death.
