The brake levers must always remain clear of the handlebars. You should not even be able to pull them all the way to the handlebars in the event of an emergency stop. If this is the case, however, observe the following chapter «Synchronising and readjusting». A correctly adjusted brake is only ensured if all of these checks have been made successfully.
WARNING
Brake cables which are damaged, e.g. frayed (e), must be replaced immediately, as they can otherwise fail in a critical moment, possibly causing a crash!
Adjusting the position of the brake pads relative to the rims requires a considerable degree of skill. Replacing and adjusting the brake pads is a job best left to your URBAN JUNGLE dealer.
Have your rims regularly inspected and measured by your URBAN JUNGLE dealer.
Synchronising and readjusting
Almost all brake designs have a bolt located next to one or both brake callipers for adjusting the initial spring tension (f). Turn the bolt slowly and watch how the gap changes between brake pads and rim.
Adjust the spring in a way that the gaps are equal on either side with an unapplied brake and the brake pads touch the rim simultaneously during braking.
The position of the brake lever where the brake starts to act, also referred to as pressure point, can be adjusted to the size of the hand as well as to individual convenience by readjus- ting the brake cable. Make absolutely sure you cannot pull the brake lever all the way to the handlebar grip. With an unapplied brake the brake pads should not be too close to the rim sides, otherwise they could drag along the rim during riding. Before making this adjustment, observe the notes in the chapter «Brake lever reach adjustment».
