Adjusting the disc-brakes. More repairs | ||
Tools needed: 2 + 5 mm unbrako.
For daily service, tighten the cables with the adjustments, found both on the brake-handles and the brakes, will be sufficient. You might consider greasing the cables.
Remember to screw the big nut all the way into the brake, after adjusting.
However, are they screwed quite some out, you will have to tighten the cable this way: Check the brake-pads visually from above. You should replace the padding, when you have less than 0,2 mm left in each side. That is another operation, but nice to get check by now.
Open the clam for the cable on the brakes, with a 5 mm unbrako.
Tighten the big 5 mm unbrako till you fell a bit of resistance, spinning the wheel, and loosen till you don't.
If you don't use the handbrakes:
Loosen the two adjustments on the brakes, one turn.
If you use your hand-brakes, put them on.
Pull the cable with your fingers, while pressing the brake on with the thumb. Tighten the unbrako on the cable. You should now have the wheels slightly braked.
If you don't use the hand-brakes, screw the adjustments on the brakes back in. If you use the hand-brakes, take them off.
Go out for a ride and enjoy your Strida! |
