Brake Adjustment (Figure 4a, 4b and 4c)
Pass the inner cable through the inner cable lead, making sure that the brake noodle is
properly seated in the outer cable lead (Figure 4a).
Set the cable with a clearance of 1mm between each brake pad and the rim, tighten the
anchor bolt using the 5mm Allen key (Figure 4b).
Adjust the balance with the spring tension adjustment screws (Figure 4a). Depress the
brake lever about 10 times as far as the grip to check that everything is operating correctly
and that the brake shoe clearance is correct before using the brakes (Figure 4c).
