CANTILEVER BRAKES - UTILIZING A LINK WIRE
If fitted with cantilever types brakes, insert the brake cable into the
link wire lead, and notch the cable end into the slot of the left brake
arm. Loosen the anchor bolt on the right brake arm and slide the
brake cable under the tabbed washer. Squeeze both brake arms
together so the brake shoes hit the rim, pull all slack out of the brake
cable, tighten the anchor bolt. With the cable fitted, the straddle
holder should sit 10 - 20 mm above the reflector bracket. Adjust the
brake shoes using a 10 mm wrench so that they are parallel with
the rim and are positioned 1 - 2 mm away from the rim. Several
adjustments may be necessary to achieve the correct
brake position.
