Aligning the Brake Pads

Tools: 5 mm Allen wrench

Pad alignment should be done before centering.

Improper alignment can cause centering issues. For

example the pad could be touching the tires or part of

the pad may be contacting the rim.

1. Check for proper brake pad alignment on the wheel

rim. If necessary, adjust the position or rotation of

the pads.

2. Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, loosen the screw

holding the pad.

3. Move and rotate the pad so it is centered on the rim

and parallel with the ground.

4. After properly positioning the pad tighten the screw.
