BRAKE CABLES
Brake system of bicycle will be effective only when brake cables are correctly stretched. Brake cables
can be set-up by adjusting screws on brake levers. Brake cables and bowdens lubricate with oil which
provides cables running smoothly. End cup should be placed on cable end to prevent its ply apart and
damage. Damaged or worn cable must be replaced by new one.
BRAKES SET-UP
Brake pads should be 1 mm from the rim in V-type brakes.
WARNING
Brake pads may not touch the tire - otherwise this could cause an over-heating of the tire! Check the wear,
and if it is necessary, change them.
1. Release the safety nut of the adjustment screw on the brake lever. If it is necessary to bring the
pads closer to the rim, turn the adjustment screw counterclockwiseout from the thread. Secure the
safety nut.
2. If the cable is too loose, turn the adjustment screw on the brake lever clockwise - into the thread.
Now release the screw that secures the cable on the brake arm. Stretch the cable, so that brake
pads are aligned with the rim. Firmly tighten the screw and check the brakes.
IMPORTANT WARNING
Pay attention when braking on wet surface - braking distance of your bike is longer! Prior to each ride check,
if the braking system of your bike is in a perfect condition.
