Caliper Brakes
STEP 9. Front Brake
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
Caliper Brakes
Most common on road bikes:
Locate the front brake quick release lever on the brake caliper. This is the lever that opens and
closes brake clearance to create tire clearance for wheel removal and installation. Move this
lever down. You will see the caliper arms and brake pads move in.
Check brake function:
Stand over the bike with the saddle between your legs. Squeeze both brake levers as hard as
possible about 10 times. The brake cables should not slip or become looser and the brake pads
should not rotate. Roll the bike forward and apply the brakes, you should see and feel the brakes
work to stop the bike.
The brake pads should fully contact the rim or brake rotor within 1 inch of brake lever movement.
The brake lever must never bottom out or contact the handlebar or handlebar grip.
For caliper and linear pull type brakes, check that the brake pads contact the brake track of
wheel rim squarely, making full contact with the brake track. Properly set up, the brake pads
should be close to, but not touching the brake track of the rim. About 2mm clearance each side.
No brake pad must ever make contact with the tire or be positioned below the brake track on the
wheel rim. If you see incorrect alignment bring your bike to a professional bicycle mechanic.
WARNING
Brake set up is critical to your safety. If you discover a problem with your brakes, or if you
have any question or concern you must get help before riding. See Contact Information in
this manual or bring your bike to a professional bicycle mechanic.
