Front Brake
Determine which type of brake your bike is equipped with and refer to
the appropriate assembly instructions. For more information on brake
adjustment and maintenance, refer to p. 68-71. A greater force is
required to activate the rear brake due to longer cable length. It is
advisable to mount the rear brake on the side of the stronger hand. It
is important to become familiar with the use of hand brakes. When
properly adjusted, hand brakes are an efficient braking system. Keep
the rim and brake shoes clean and free from wax, lubricants and dirt
at all times. Keep brakes properly adjusted and in good working
condition at all times.
Open the brake lever and place the nipple end of the short brake
cable into the lever, then close the lever. Secure the ferrule against
the lever using the cable adjusting barrel.
Brake Lever
It is very important to check the front wheel
connection to the bicycle. Failure to properly tighten
may cause the front wheel to dislodge.
