Some brakes have a quick release mechanism to allow easier wheel removal. Whenever you adjust the brakes,
make sure the quick release mechanism is in the closed position.
Never ride unless the quick release is firmly locked in the closed position.
Lubrication
The brake lever and brake caliper pivot points should be oiled with 2-3 drops
of light oil at least every three months to ensure smooth operation and to
reduce wear. Cables should be lubricated along their entire length, after
removing them from their casings, at least every six months. Always lubricate
new cables before fitting.
Adjustment - Sidepull Calipers
Minor brake adjustment can be made via the cable adjusting barrel, usually
located at the upper cable arm. To adjust, squeeze the brake pads against
the rim, loosen the lock nut and turn the adjuster Brake pad clearance should
be a maximum 2mm from the rim. When correct, re-tighten the lock nut. If
the pads cannot be set close enough to the rim in this manner, you may
have to adjust the cable length. Screw the barrel adjuster 3/4 of the way in,
squeeze the pads against the rim, undo the cable anchor bolt and pull the
cable through with pliers. Re-tighten the cable anchor bolt and apply full
force to the brake lever to test, then fine tune using the barrel adjuster. If one
pad is closer to the rim than the other, loosen the fixing nut at the back of the
brake, apply the brake to hold it centered, and re-tighten the fixing nut.
