REPAIR GUIDE
Step by step
- 1Find the wobbleFlip the bike. Spin the wheel and watch where the rim moves toward one pad.
- 2Tighten the opposite spokesA quarter turn on the spokes opposite the bulge pulls the rim back. Work in small moves.
- 3Recheck the brakeOnce the rim runs straight, the pad gap should be even. If not, recenter the caliper.
