Checking the Brake Function

For the hand brake system to work
correctly, it is critical that it be
adjusted properly. With the braking
system properly adjusted, the wheels
should freely rotate when the brake
lever is not engaged. To establish
if the braking system is functioning
correctly:
• Check to see if brakes are
engaged when the brake lever is
pulled to within 1/2" or more from
the handlebar.
• Check to see that brake force is
balanced (evenly applied) if both
wheels stop at the same time.

Adjusting Brake Force

If correct brake force is not applied
when the brake lever is pulled to
within 1/2" of the handle bar, then
the brake cable will need to be
tightened.
To tighten the cable, loosen the lock
ring on the brake lever and turn the
barrel adjuster in a counter clockwise
direction. Secure the barrel adjuster
in the new position by tightening
the lock ring against the brake lever
body.

If the rear wheels do not spin freely
when the brake lever is in the
released position, then there is too
much brake force and the brake
cable will need to be loosened.
To loosen the cable, loosen lock
ring and turn the barrel adjuster in
a clockwise direction. Secure the
barrel adjuster by tightening the lock
ring against the brake.
