Attaching the Brake Cable to the Brake Carrier
❶ Squeeze the two brake arms together until the brake pads
touch the wheel rim. Figure 4.7
❷ With your other hand, pull on the brake cable and insert the
end of the "noodle" into the brake carrier.
Adjusting the Brake Pads
❸ Check the brake cable is seated in the brake lever. Using a 5
mm allen wrench loosen the cable anchor bolt enough so
the brake cable can move freely. Figure 4.8
❹ Pull the brake cable through the cable anchor so the
left brake arm moves towards the rim and there is
approximately a 1/8" (3 mm) gap between the brake
pad and rim.
❺ Move the right brake arm towards the rim until there is
approximately a 1/8" (3 mm) gap between the brake pad
and rim.
❻ Using the 5 mm allen wrench, firmly tighten the cable
anchor bolt completely.
