V-BRAKE INSTALLATION
NOTE: your V-brakes have been pre-Installed at the factory, use this information for
adjustment and future reference.
Install the v-brakes onto the cantilever bosses:
1.
Slide each V-Brake assembly onto the
appropriate cantilever boss and secure by
tightening the cantilever blot with a 5 mm hex
key. You may hand tighten at this point as you will
need to readjust the tension later.
(See illustration A)
2.
Install the inner brake cable by pushing it through
the cable routing tube (or "noodle") note
that we offer two noodle angles (90
degrees and 135 degrees) depending
on your bike setup. Now tighten the
cable fixing bolt to a torque that does
not exceed 9-12 ft. –lbs. (See
illustration B)
3.
To ensure maximum leverage the two
brake arms must be nearly parallel to
each other. To make this adjustment,
hold the brake shoes so that they are
touching the rim and measure the
distance between points a and b.
