Push the brake pad to the correct height, i.e. the brake pad must fully
hit the braking surface. Make sure the brake pad is in parallel to the
rim and pull the brake lever to fix the brake pads. Retighten the fas-
tening bolt of the brake pad to the recommended torque value.
In case you have Scorpo wheels, observe the mounting instructions on
the rim!
5.2.3. Synchronizing and Readjusting Side-Pull Brakes
Furthermore, check whether the bolt connecting the brake to the
frame is still tightened properly.
With dual pivot brakes, turn the small (headless) screw, located at the
side or on top of the calliper and holding against the base plate of the
brakes, until the left and right brake pad are at the same distance from
the rim.
5.3. Checking, Readjusting and Synchronizing
Cantilever Brakes
Cantilever brakes are used on cyclocross bicycles. They are compatible
with the common shift/brake levers from Shimano, Sram and Campagnolo.
Actuating the brake lever creates a pull on the brake cable which draws
the arms towards each other. On this occasion the brake arms turn slightly
inwards around the suspension point, a friction of the brake pads being
generated on the rim sides.
5.3.1. Functional Check
As with all rim brakes, the brake pads should be accurately aligned
with the rims and be sufficiently thick.
Furthermore, the brake pads should touch the rim with their front part
first. At the moment of the first contact the rear part of the brake pad
should be a millimetre away from the rim. Seen from the top the brake
pads form a “V” with the trough pointing to the front. This V-shaped
setting prevents screeching when the brakes are applied.
When you pull the brake lever, both brake arms must contact the rim
simultaneously.
The brake levers must always remain clear of the handlebars. You
should not be able to pull them all the way to the handlebars, even in
the event of an emergency braking.
The Brake System
Turn the knurled nut or bolt according to the manufacturer through
which the brake cable passes at the brake calliper until the travel of
the brake lever suits your needs.
Danger:
Always test the brakes’
function while stationary after
adjusting them. Make sure the
brake pads hit the rim and the
brake lever cannot be pulled
all the way to the handlebars.
Brake failure or defective tyres
may otherwise result in an
accident.
