6. Maintenance and Repairs

6A. Brake cable adjustment. The main adjustment on the brake is to
take up the cable slack and bring the lever into adjustment. This is
typically accomplished with the adjusting barrel at the brake lever as
shown in Figure 9a.

Figure 9a.

If there is too much slack, the lever will go all the way to the handlebar
without the brake being applied (Figure 9b). If there is not enough slack,
the brake will drag even when the lever is not pulled. Ideally, you want
2-3mm of play in the lever before the brake engages.

Figure 9b.

To adjust, loosen the lock ring and turn the barrel 1/4 to 1/2 turn to
loose or tighten as required and squeeze the brakes to test. Continue to
adjust until the proper cable slack is attained.

If the proper amount of play cannot be achieved by adjusting the brake
lever, the excess slack must be taken up at the brake by loosening the
pinch bolt and pulling up the slack.
