Cable tension (front brake)
It is important to understand that cable tension is independent from the position of the brakes. It means you cannot adjust the brake pad
reach by adjusting cable tension. The reach of the pads is adjusted directly on the pads with spacers.
- When you clamp the cable (2.5mm Allen), maintain the brake arms against the stoppers, and apply tension to the brake cable (1). Once
the cable is tight, check the function of the brake lever (2). There should not be play in the lever and the brake arms should come
back all the way to the stoppers. Repeat operation if needed.
- Cut the cable against the brake arm by removing the brake stopper (3).
- Bolt on the brake cover (only the front brake has a cover).
