WARNING!
Failure to properly set the brakes may result in the inability to
stop the bicycle movement and cause serious injury or death.
Be sure the brakes are functioning properly before using the
bicycle.
There are three brake options, Caliper, Linear Pull and Disc.
Follow these steps if the brake cables are not attached to the
brake levers:
❶ Rotate the cable adjustment barrel and cable nut until the
slots are aligned with the slot on the brake lever body.

❷ Press the brake lever towards the grip.
❸ Slide the brake cable through the slots and place the cable
head into the brake lever. Figure 3.8
❹ Release the brake lever. Figure 3.9
❺ Lightly pull on the cable and rotate the cable nut and cable
barrel so they are no longer aligned.
Note: See Section 4: Adjusting the Brakes if adjustments are
needed.
