If you have V-brakes and cantilever brakes hook up the brake cable at the brake arm. To do this, grip the rim with one hand and press the brake pads and/or the brake arms together. In this position the usually barrel shaped nipple can easily be engaged (e).
If you have disc brakes, check before mounting the wheel whether the brake pads rest snugly in their seats in the brake calliper body. The gaps between the brake pads and the wheel should be parallel and the wear indicators in their correct position (f). Make sure you guide the rotor carefully between the brake pads.
If your bicycle has a multi-speed hub, back-pedal, drum or roller brakes, verify the proper assembly of the individual components and tension the chain before tightening the wheel nuts by pulling the wheel backwards.
Verify that the amount of play midway between sprockets and chainring is not more than two centimetres. Make sure there is no excessive chain slack! Finish by tightening the torque support (“brake torque arm“) to the prescribed torque value.
If your URBAN JUNGLE bike is equipped with thru axles, you will find further information in the chapter «Thru axles on the URBAN JUNGLE Bike».
All brakes:
After mounting the wheel and tightening the quick-release pull the brake lever (several times, if you have disc brakes).
Lift your URBAN JUNGLE bike off the ground and spin the wheel with your hand. With the wheel spinning the rotor should not drag along the brake calliper or the brake pads and the rim should keep off the (rim) brake pads.
WARNING
If you have rim brakes, make sure you hook up the brake cable immediately after the wheel mounting!
Before setting off again check that the brake surfaces and/or rotors are still free of grease or other lubricants after the wheel mounting.
Check whether the brake pads hit the rotors or brake surfaces of the rims. Make sure the wheel is properly seated and firmly fixed in the drop-outs. Always do a brake test as described in the chapter «Tests before every ride“!
