5.6.2. Adjusting the Brake Lever Reach
With disc brakes the brake levers can be adjusted to the size of your
hands, too, allowing you to operate them with optimal effectiveness. In
most cases this is done by means of a small Allen bolt located directly at
the hand lever.
5.6.3. Checking and Readjusting in the Case of
Mechanical Disc Brakes
Regularly check the braking response and the condition of the brake ca-
bles while pulling on the lever.
Do you get a clear-cut braking response in the case of an emergency brak-
ing, and does the lever remain clear of the handlebars no matter how
hard you pull?
To a certain extent, an increasing lever travel due to the wear on the brake
pads can be compensated, if necessary, directly at the brake calliper, or
with the adjusting bolt at the brake lever. Unscrew the union nut on the
bolt through which the cable runs and then unscrew the bolt until the
lever has the desired travel. Retighten the lock nut by taking care that the
slit of the bolt head does not face upward or forward, as this would permit
an unnecessarily high amount of water or dirt to enter.
Danger:
Repeated readjustment at the
brake lever or brake calliper
only can drastically reduce the
maximum braking eect.
Note:
Some systems must be read-
justed directly at the brake
calliper to compensate wear.
Be sure to read the operating
instructions of the brake
manufacturer on the STEVENS
CD-ROM.
After adjusting check the functioning and make sure the brake pads do
not drag when releasing the brake lever and spinning the wheel.
