The Brake System
5.3.2. Synchronizing and Readjusting Cantilever Brakes
For synchronizing the brake, almost all cantilever brakes have an bolt
located on the side of one brake calliper to adjust the spring preload.
Screw this bolt until the clearance between brake pad and rim is the
same on either side.
To readjust the brake, release the knurled lock ring located at the cable
hanger or brake lever.
Unscrew the knurled, slotted adjusting bolt by a few turns. This short-
ens 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.
5.4. Checking, Readjusting and Synchronizing
Mini V-Brakes
The mini V-brakes are the shortened version of the V-brakes usual on
mountain bikes; they have two brake arms mounted separately on ei-
ther side of the rim. The brake arms of mini V-brakes are shortened and
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.
Danger:
Adjusting the position of the
brake pads relative to the
rims requires a considerable
degree of skill. Replacing and
adjusting the brake pads is a
job best left to your bicycle
dealer.
Danger:
Always test the brakes’
function when stationary after
adjusting them, making sure
the brake pads engage fully
with the rim when you pull
them hard.
