9.7 Drum or roller brakes
With these brake systems, the brake pads
and surfaces are largely protected against
the influences of weather. The braking power
is transmitted through cables from the levers
to the brakes.
9.7.1 Checking and readjusting
Regularly check whether you get a clear-cut
braking response before the lever touches the
handlebars.
To a certain extent, wear of the brake pads
can be compensated for directly at the hand
lever. Release the union nut on the bolt
through which the cable enters the lever and
then release the bolt itself until the levers has
the desired travel.
After this, check the function and make sure
the brake pads do not grind on the rims and
the wheel turns easily.
After several adjustments, the position of the
brake lever may change. This can reduce
the braking power so that it won’t be high
enough anymore in an extreme case.
Some models offer further adjusting possi-
bilites directly at the brake. In any case, be
sure to read the original instructions of the
brake manufacturer before adjusting the
brakes. If in doubt, ask your MERIDA dealer
for advice.
Check regularly whether the coaster brake
bracket is still rmly attached to frame or
fork.
9. The brake system
Tighten the lock nut again, taking care that
the slit of the bolt head does not face upward
or forward, as this would permit an unneces-
sarily high amount of water or dirt to enter.
