We also recommend that you leave the
replacement of brake blocks to him.
However, we provide the correct order
of operations below, for experienced
amateur mechanics.
2. Turn the cable adjusting screw on
the brake grip inwards to slacken the
cable (23).
3. Push the brake arms towards one
another (24).
4. Remove the brake cable (25). Now
you can easily loosen the bolts which
fi x the blocks in position. When moun-

(23)
ting and adjusting new brake blocks
they should be 2-3 mm from the rim.
5. Secure the brake cable again. The
brakes are correctly adjusted if the
brake grips can be squeezed no further
than a quarter to a half of the distance
to the handlebars. If you can squeeze
them in further, adjust them with the
cable adjusting screws on the brake
grips.
6. If the brake is not adjusted tightly
enough, in the case of the V-brake you
can also use a hexagonal key to loosen
the cable clamping bolt (A) and pull up
(24)
the cable slightly (26). This same bolt
is also used for replacing the cable, if
necessary.
7. In the case of the cantilever brake,
you can use a hexagonal key to loosen
the cable clamping bolt (A) and the
screw of the middle tension piece and
pull up the cable slightly.

THE POWER MODULATOR
In some models, the brake power of
the V-brake is regulated by a 'Power
modulator' or brake power dosage
unit (27). The modulator mechanism
handles extreme brake power from
the brake grip. This helps to prevent
excessive braking and makes the brake
safer to use.
DISC BRAKES (HYDRAULIC AND
MECHANICAL)
A) The hydraulic disc brake (28) is also
a (hydraulic) brake system whereby the
brake shoe is pressed against the disc
