Adjusting the V-brakes
The pads exert a pressure directly on the wheel rims. The intensity of the pressure is controlled by a
lever connected to the brake by a cable. Do not operate the brake lever when the wheel is detached
from the frame.
•
Position the calliper arms vertically and parallel using the correct cable tension. Once the cable
position has been defined, tighten the cable with the appropriate screw.
