5.2.4. Synchronizing and Readjusting the Brakes
For synchronizing the brake, almost all cantilever and V-brakes have
a bolt on the side of one brake body to adjust the spring preload.
Screw this bolt until the clearance between brake pad and rim is the
same on either side.
The Brake System
To readjust the brakes, release the knurled lock ring located at the
point where the brake cable enters the brake lever on the handlebars.
Unscrew the knurled, slotted adjusting bolt by a few turns. This
shortens the free travel of the brake lever.
Keeping the adjusting bolt fixed, tighten the lock ring against the
brake lever mount. This prevents the adjusting bolt from coming
loose by itself.
Ensure that the slot of the bolt faces neither forward nor upward, as
this would permit water or dirt to enter.
Danger:
Adjusting the position of the
brake pads relative to the
rims requires
a considerable degree of
skill. Replacing and adjust-
ing the brake pads is a job
best left to your STEVENS
dealer.
Danger:
Always test the brakes’ func-
tion when stationary after
adjusting them, making sure
the brake pads engage fully
with the rim when you pull
them hard.
5.2.3. Vertical Adjustment of the Brake Pads
Release the fastening bolt of the brake pad by one to at most two
complete turns.
Push the brake pad to the correct height, i.e. the brake pad must hit
the rim with its entire surface. Make sure the brake pad is in parallel
to the rim and pull the brake lever to fix the brake pads. Retighten the
fastening bolt of the brake pad to the recommended torque value.
