Adjusng the Side-pull Caliper Brake
Aaching the Brake Cable to the Brake Carrier
❶ If the brake cable is disconnected at the caliper, thread the
brake wire through the adjustment barrel. Figure 4.8
❷ Loosen the cable anchor bolt unl you can see a gap large
enough for the cable wire.
❸ Thread the cable wire through the gap. By hand, screw the
cable anchor bolt snug enough to hold the cable wire.
❹ Check the cable end is seated in the brake lever.
❺ With one hand squeeze the caliper arms unl both brake
pads contact the rim. Loosen the cable anchor bolt just
enough to allow the cable wire to move freely.
❻ While holding the caliper closed, use your other hand to pull
the brake cable ght (through the cable anchor bolt).
Check that the cable end is seated in the brake lever and the
barrel adjuster of the brake.
❼ Tighten the cable anchor bolt as much as you can by hand
and then while sll squeezing the caliper arms unl both
brake pads contact the rim, ghten the cable anchor bolt
fully with a 10 mm box wrench. Note: Use the adjustment
barrel(s) to ne-tune the brake cable tension. Turning the
barrel clockwise will loosen the brake cable tension, counter-
clockwise will ghten the brake cable tension. Figure 4.9
