Once the wheel is reinstalled, close the brake pads by

performing the following:

1. Squeeze the caliper arms together.

2. Connect the cable guide to the bracket on the left caliper

arm (A,Figure 14).

Brake Cable Free Play Adjustment (V-Brakes)

If either brake lever fails the mechanical safety check, restore

brake lever travel by adjusting the brake lever free play as

described below.

1. Pull the brake lever to simulate a panic stop, and then

release the brake lever. Repeat this at least ten times. This

assures that all components are properly seated.

2. Pull the brake lever until the brake pads just touch the rim.

3. Measure the clearance between the brake lever and the

handlebar grip. This distance should be 25 mm (0.98 in.).

4. Loosen the adjuster locknut, and turn the barrel adjuster

(Figure 15) as necessary to adjust clearance to within

specification. (Turning the adjuster out tightens the inner wire;

turning the adjuster in loosens the wire.) When the brake

lever is within specification, tighten the adjuster locknut.

5. Squeeze the caliper arms together, and remove the cable

guide from the quick release bracket on the left caliper arm

(A, Figure 14). The brake lever free play is properly adjusted

if the cable guide can be easily removed from the bracket.

6. If you cannot easily release the cable guide from the

bracket, perform the following:

a. Turn the adjusting barrel at the brake lever in

(clockwise) one full turn. Try to remove the cable

guide again.

b. If you still cannot release the cable guide, turn the

adjusting barrel in an additional turn.

c. If the cable guide still does not release, loosen the

pinch bolt (B, Figure 14) and release 2-3 mm (0.079-

0.118 in.) of inner wire from the pinch mechanism.

d. Tighten the pinch bolt, and repeat the adjusting

procedure.
