Checking your Brakes
Press each brake lever to ensure that there is no binding and that the brake pads press firm
enough on the rims to stop the bike.
The brake pads should be adjusted so they are 1-2mm away from the rim when the brakes
are not applied (Figure 5a).
Brake pads should be centered on the rim and the rear portion of each brake pad should be
about 0.5-1mm farther from the rim than the front portion of the brake pad (Figure 5b).
