How to Adjust Brakes on Your Mountain Bike: A Step-by-Step Guide
To adjust brakes on a mountain bike, start by loosening the brake cable with a barrel adjuster if the brakes aren’t tight enough or tightening it if they’re too tight. Check the brake pads for wear and replace them if needed. Adjust the brake pads so that they are properly aligned with the rim of the wheel. Finally, test the brake performance and adjust as needed until the brakes are functioning properly.
