Drum Brake - Bike Friday Family Tandem Traveler User Manual

Assembly: Connect Frame
9. Press Frame Together
With the frame halves prop-
erly joined, the rear of the
top tube and forward end
of the matching tube on the
stoker's seat tube should be
no more than 1⁄4 inch apart.
10. Slide Over-Clamp Back
With the frame halves
engaged, slide the top tube
over-clamp back until it
equally covers the frame
joint. Step behind the bike
and sight down the frame:
the two seat tubes should
be parallel. At this point you
can make minor adjustments
to the alignment by twisting the frame halves. Tighten the over-
clamp securely.
11. Set Cable Stop Ring
Open the half-clamp cable
stop ring and slip it over
the bo�om tube just behind
the forward lower bo�om
tube socket. Reconnect the
bolts and then slide the
cable stop ring back until it
securely contacts the stop on
the frame. Turn the clamp so
that the cables are on the le� side of the bo�om tube and tighten
the ring clamp bolts. The springs help keep the cable housing in the
cable stops when the bike is packed.

12. Install Rear Wheel
Install the rear wheel. Be cer-
tain the rear brake is open. If
you are not certain how to
operate a V-brake, see the
"V-Brake Operation" section
near the end of this manual.
For details on working with
a drum brake, refer to the
next few steps.

13. Drum Brake

If you have opted for a
drum brake, the wheel
mounts into the frame
nearly the same as a stan-
dard wheel. You will need
to guide the drive chain
over the casse�e cogs, and
pull the derailleur cage back
to allow the wheel to seat
into the drop outs. If you have a DualDrive hub, your wheel will
not have a quick release as shown in the illustration.
14. Engage Brake Arm Pin
As you pull the hub axle up
into the frame drop outs,
hook the pin at the end of
the brake arm into the cor-
responding drop out on the
le� chain stay (in this case a
clamp-on mount). Securely
close the quick release, or
tighten the axle nuts if you
have a DualDrive hub. On the DualDrive hub make certain the
washer tabs are facing down and in. Refer to the section on the
DualDrive hub near the end of this manual for more information.
