Check Your Brakes - Dynacraft SINGLE SPEED Owner's Manual

CHECK YOUR BRAKES

Press each brake lever to make sure that there is no binding and that the brake pads press hard enough on the
rims to stop the bike. The brake pads should be adjusted so they are 1 mm to 2 mm away from the rim when
the brakes are not applied. Brake pads should be centered on the rim and the rear portion of each brake pad
should be about 0.5 - 1.0 mm farther from the rim than the front portion of the brake pad.
Brake pad aligned with the
rim surface.
CAUTION
Do not ride the bicycle until the brakes are
functioning properly. To test, apply the brakes while
trying to push the bike forward to make sure they
will stop the bicycle. Never ride a bicycle that is not
functioning properly.
Pad and rim should be parallel. Direction of rim rotation.
WARNING
Sudden or excessive application of the front brake
may pitch the rider over the handlebars, causing
serious injury or death.
