Important! Before riding the bicycle it is important to check the
brakes. If you squeeze the brake lever and one brake arm moves
more than the other (or not at all) the brake is not centered. You
will need to ne-tune the brake pads. Mulple adjustments may
be necessary to center the brake pads, correctly set the brake
pressure, and set the gap between the brake pad and rim.
Adjust the Brake Pad Alignment
Check that all brake pads are aligned correctly. If not, use a
5 mm allen wrench and loosen the bolt enough so you can
reposion the pad. Posion the pad so it is evenly centered on
the rim. Reghten the bolt aer posioning the pad correctly.
Figure 4.5
Center the Brake Pads
Rotate the wheel and look straight down at the gap between
the rim, brake pads, and fork. If you nd the gap between these
are uneven it indicates the wheel, the brake pads, or both are
not centered.
❶ If you see the gap between the fork and wheel is uneven
loosen the axle nuts and adjust the wheel unl centered.
