Step 1: Preparation
Before you start replacing the braking train, make sure you have all the required tools and materials on hand. This includes a wrench, a cross -slot screwdriver, the new brake procession and possibly lubricant.
Step 2: Disassembly of the old brake train
Start dismantling the old brake train. First loosen the screws that hold the brake lever and remove the old train from the lever and brake mechanics. Make sure to take off all parts properly.
Step 3: Installation of the new brake train
Guide the new brake train through the brackets and the brake lever. Make sure that the train is correctly and without complications. Attach the brake procession to the brake mechanics with the corresponding screw.
Step 4: Setting the brake mechanics
Check the setting of the brake mechanics and make sure that the brake procession is sufficiently tensioned. Too relaxed can affect the brake performance, while a tighter train can lead to premature wear.
Step 5: Test the brake function
Before you mount the cover again, test the brake function. Pull the brake lever and check whether the brakes react reliably. If necessary, carry out a fine adjustment.
Step 6: Care of the brake train
In order to extend the lifespan of the braking train, we recommend regular maintenance. Clean the train of dirt and rust and, if necessary, apply some lubricant.
