Side Pull Brake

Loosen the cable anchor nut and thread the brake cable through it.
Tighten the nut by hand until it holds the cable in place. Squeeze the
brake arms together against the rim of the wheel. Loosen the nuts on the
brake shoes and turn until they match the angle of the rim. Tighten the
nuts securely. Pull down on the end of the brake cable with pliers, hold
taut and securely tighten the cable anchor nut. Spin the wheel, the brake
shoes should not contact the rim at any point and should be an equal
distance from the rim on both sides. Make sure all nuts and bolts are
securely tightened. Test the brake levers 20-25 times to take care of any
initial cable stretch. Be sure to tightly secure the brake fixing nut behind
the fork.
When assembling or adjusting the brakes, make
sure the cable anchor is tight. Failure to securely
tighten the nut could result in brake failure and
personal injury.
Cantilever Brakes – Link Wire
If fitted with cantilever type brakes, insert the brakes cable into the link
wire lead, and notch the cable end into the slot of the left brake arm.
Loosen the anchor bolt on the right brake arm and slide the brake cable
under the tabbed washer. Squeeze both brake arms together so the
brake shoes hit the rim, pull all slack out the brake cable, and tighten the
anchor bolt. With the cable fitted, the straddle holder should sit 10-20mm
above the reflector bracket. Adjust the brake shoes using a 10mm wrench
so that they are parallel with the rim and are positioned 1-2mm away from
the rim. Several adjustments may be necessary to achieve the correct
brake position.
