When assembling or adjusting the brakes, make sure the cable anchor nut is tight.
Failure to securely tighten the nut could result in brake failure and personal injury. (See Figure 1.)
7A. Side Pull Brakes
Loosen the cable anchor nut and pull the brake cable through it. Squeeze the brake arms
together against the rim of the wheel. While still holding the brake arms, pull the cable firmly
through the cable anchor nut and tighten the nut securely. To fine tune your brakes, see the
adjustment section on page 28.
7B. Coaster Brakes
If your bike is equipped with a coaster brake (see Figure 3), it should come pre-assembled on
the bike. You should make sure that the coaster brake arm is secure to the frame by checking
the brake arm clamp screw or bolt. (See Figure 3.)
WARNING:
The chain must remain on the sprockets.
If the chain comes off the sprockets, the coaster brake will not operate.
7C. U-Brakes
Loosen the cable anchor nut and pull the brake cable through it. Squeeze the brake
arms together against the rim of the wheel. While still holding the brake arms, pull the
cable firmly through the cable anchor nut and tighten the nut securely. (See Figure 2.)
