the fork ad the braces. Install the spring system, the
brake, the washer and the screw to each of the pivots
(remove the plastic protector from the brakes first).

spaces. Apply a tightening torque to the screw of 8-10
N·m.
1.2. When both shoe brakes are in contact with the
rim sides, make sure the distance A (see the picture)
does not exceed 65 mm. In order to reduce the distance,
use the washers from different thickness installed in the
shank of the brake shoe.
1.3. Before applying the final tightening torque to
the shoe brakes, make sure they are perfectly aligned to
the rim and that there is a width of 1 mm between the

protector and the fixation screw. Fix the guide pipe in the
brake support and press the protector against the end of
the support. Fix the towline in the fixation screw so the
total width between the brake shoes and the rim is 2
mm. Apply the tightening torque to the fixation screw: 6-
8 N·m. Insert a Hood at the end of the towline.
1.5. Adjust and balance the brakes using the
adjusting screws thas every brake includes in the zone of
the assembling pivots. To verify the effects of the
adjustments press and free the brake lever various
