easily turn while the brake cable is
being pulled, depress the brake lever
about 10 times as far as the grip in
order to run in the brake cable.

Turn the cable adjustment barrel (A) of
the brake unit or brake lever so that
there is a 15 mm gap (a) (11 mm for

(The amount of brake lever gap is the
distance from the position where the
brake lever is not operated to the
position where a force is felt suddenly
when the brake lever is pulled.)
After depressing the brake lever to
check the braking performance, secure
the cable adjustment barrel with the
cable adjustment nut (B).
