Brake Levers
When squeezed, the brake lever should be firm and not bottom out against the handlebar grip. To remove slack
from the cable and make the lever more firm, use the barrel adjuster on the brake lever or brake caliper.
Unscrew the barrel adjuster and locking nut one turn at a time until the desired firmness is achieved. Keeping
the barrel adjuster in place, tighten the locking nut back down against the brake lever or brake caliper. If your
brake lever is still too soft after adjusting, further adjustment may be needed by a bicycle shop
WARNING: If the barrel adjuster is loosened too much it may fall out, causing brake failure.
SHIFTER ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Do not ride a bicycle that is not shifting properly. Overlooking proper adjustments may cause
irreparable damage to the bicycle and/or bodily injury. Never move the shifter while pedaling backward,
nor pedal backwards after having moved the shifter. This could jam the chain and cause serious damage
to the bicycle and/or rider.
NOTE: If you don't have a bicycle repair stand, it helps to have someone assist you with the adjustment.
There are three types of shifters that may be on your bicycle.
There is a Shifter/Brake Lever Combo (see Figure 67), a Standard Shifter (see Figure 68), and a Grip Shifter
(See Figure 69). For the Combo and the Standard Shifter, use your thumbs to shift up, and your index fingers
to shift down with the appropriate levers. On a Grip Shifter, rotate the shifter on the handlebars in the
appropriate direction to shift up or down.
