How to Tighten Disk Brakes on a Mountain Bike: A Comprehensive Guide
To tighten disk brakes on a mountain bike, start by loosening the brake cable pinch bolt, then squeeze the brake lever and hold it down. While holding the brake lever, tighten the pinch bolt back up. If the brakes still feel loose, adjust the barrel adjuster on the brake lever until the brakes feel tight enough. Finally, check that the brake pads are properly aligned with the rotor for optimal braking power.
