Section 6 Continued Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment

Maintenance:

Cables are plastic lined and do not require lubrication though it is OK to do so.

Be aware that a drop of water in a cable may freeze and prevent braking. Use boots and

lubricants to prevent this. Test before riding off in freezing weather.

Replace pucks when they are down to 1/4 inch thick. The moveable puck is loose, but the

stationary puck is secured to the caliper with a small slotted head screw. Locktite this screw.

Adjustment:

New Pucks.

After installing new pucks, reassemble the calipers and securely tighten the two 5/16” screws.

Remove the cotter pin and finger tighten the cam nut so that the cam push pins are at the bottom

of the cam. This is the starting point. Now at the hand lever, set the cable housing adjusting

screw out about 1/4 inch and lock it up by finger tightening the lock nut. At the cam, loosen the

cable clamp screw and pull the cable through snugly and clamp it up. Now loosen the cam nut so

you can ride with a few fingers holding the brake lever, but with enough lever stroke left for locking

up the brakes if need be. Check for good braking and snappy return.

In The Field.

A quick adjustment for brake wear can be made without tools at the handlebar by loosening its

locknut and extending the cable housing adjusting screw. Retighten the locknut. It is best not to go

too far with his adjustment as the overextended adjustment screw may then get hit and broken.

When you can, return the cable housing adjusting screw to its normal 1/4 inch extension and take

up pad wear at the caliper by pulling the hitch or cotter pin, tightening the cam retaining nut and

replacing the pin.
