How to Adjust Your Brakes on a Mountain Bike: A Step-by-Step Guide
To adjust the brakes on your mountain bike, first make sure the brake pads are properly aligned with the rims. Then adjust the tension of the brake cable using the barrel adjuster until the brake levers feel comfortable and responsive. If the brakes still feel loose, adjust the brake pads closer to the rim. Finally, test your brakes by squeezing the levers and making sure the bike comes to a complete stop.
