1. Brakes We at beixo use 4 different brake types the V brake the coaster brake the disc brake and the roller brake Safety rules Check regularly if the brakes work as they should Are the brake blocks and bolts secure Are the cables intact and do they not show any strong bends or fraying During rainy weather your braking dis tance increases On longer slopes pump the brakes to avoid overheating When there is something wrong with your brakes stop riding V brakes Adjustment and maintenance of the V brakes The brake blocks should be replaced if the oblique notches are worn Rims have their own character and the blocks fitted form with them a safe unit A bicycle specialist has the correct type of brake blocks in stock To change the blocks first turn the cable setting screw of the brake lever inward to release the tension of the cable Push the brake blocks towards each other Pull the brake cable free Now you can unfasten the bolts holding the blocks easily When fitting and adjusting the new blocks they should end up at 1 2 mm from the rim Re attach the brake cable The brakes are adjusted correctly if the brake levers cannot be moved further than half to three quarters of their travel If you can move them further then adjust them by turning the cable setting screws on the brake levers If the brake is not set tightly enough for a V brake you can loos en the cable clamp bolt using the Allen key and pull the cab2.
