3. Loosen the anchor bolt (the
bolt with a hole drilled sideways
through it in which the cable is
fastened), pull the cable tight
while squeezing the brake pads
together, and re-tighten the bolt.
Sometimes an assistant is helpful
for this step. The tightness of
this bolt is critical. The first
mistake most beginning bike
mechanics make is to break an
anchor bolt. Yet, if you don't
tighten it enough, when the brake
is applied hard in an emergency
stop, the cable will slip through
the bolt, causing an accident. You
must test the bolt by pulling hard
on the brake hand lever to be sure
the cable does not slip.

4. You can fine adjust the brake
tension by unscrewing the adjust-
ing barrel a little bit. This
effectively shortens the cable.
5. Center the brake. If it is too
close to one side of the rim:
IF IT IS A SIDEPULL BRAKE:
Try loosening the mounting nut
(that holds the brake caliper onto
the bike), holding the brake
caliper centered, then retight-
ening the nut.
If the caliper stubbornly
returns to the same position,
leave the nut tight, then gently
bang on the spring with a punch or
dull screwdriver and hammer. The
impact will cause the position of
the caliper to shift.
