Everyone who loves cycling and active life, should know how to adjust the brakes on a bicycle.The fact is that after a long drive system can not work very efficiently.Thus, we consider that the necessary adjustment.First of all, it is manufactured to when the brake is still new, and have only recently been established or if the system is simply a timber and strike sharply on the wheel, without stopping.If you notice that the bike stops too long, it is also necessary to carefully examine.
If you do not know how to adjust the brake on a bicycle, you must first determine the type of system - vector, disk or tick.Each of them has its particular setting.The first two types are most commonly used, so for them and we'll talk.
So let's deal with the disk system.Before you adjust the brakes on a bike, you should consider their device.On the left side on the sleeve away from the needles a disc of steel.To him on both sides of the brake pads are pressed.Between them and the disc must be the light.More often have to adjust the rotor with a hex wrench.Now rotate the wheel should be to determine whether the pads do not rub on the disc when the system is not involved.If you need to brake handle had a smaller move the hexagon it is necessary to screw deeper.Now, adjust the wheel and tighten all bolts.If, after checking the bike you notice that the brake is not fully tuned, readjust the rotor and pads.
Before you adjust the brakes on the bike, see if everything is OK with the chassis.You may have to replace some parts, for example, if the broken shoe.If they are in place, but even with a snug fit the brake does not work well, try them free of grease.It is desirable to have metal pads.
bicycle brakes are very important because they provide security and allow you to stop.Debugging system should be done very carefully.For example, rim brakes need to be adjusted as follows: turn over the bike and with the strength of twist wheel.At the same time we pay attention to the position of the pad relative to the wheel.The rim should be located strictly in the middle between them.If the wheel is tilted, it should be aligned, as well as to move the brake in the right direction.Pads must be configured so that they are not hung and do not touch the tires.The distance to the rim is adjusted using the bolt on the bracket.
reason for the poor performance of the system can be unreliable in the cable tension.To do this, unscrew the attachment, pull them as much as possible and tighten.If you need more fine-tuning, it is necessary to hold it while riding with special controls, which are located on the handle.
Here is a brief and all the information about how to set the brakes on a bicycle.Be careful and cautious.Good luck!
