3.  Loosen  the  anchor  bolt (the
bolt with a  hole drilled sideways
through it  in which the  cable is
fastened),  pull  the  cable tight
while  squeezing  the  brake  pads
together, and re-tighten the bolt.
Sometimes an  assistant is helpful
for  this step.  The tightness  of
this  bolt is  critical. The first
mistake   most    beginning   bike
mechanics  make  is  to  break  an
anchor  bolt.  Yet,  if  you don't
tighten it enough,  when the brake
is  applied hard  in an  emergency
stop, the cable  will slip through
the bolt, causing an accident. You
must test the bolt by pulling hard
on the brake hand lever to be sure
the cable does not slip.

4. You  can fine adjust  the brake
tension by  unscrewing the adjust-
ing  barrel  a  little  bit.  This
effectively shortens the cable.

5. Center the brake.  If it is too
close to one side of the rim:

IF IT IS A SIDEPULL BRAKE:
Try  loosening  the  mounting  nut
(that holds the brake caliper onto
the   bike),  holding   the  brake
caliper  centered,  then  retight-
ening the nut.
    If   the   caliper  stubbornly
returns  to   the  same  position,
leave  the nut  tight, then gently
bang on the spring with a punch or
dull  screwdriver and  hammer. The
impact will cause  the position of
the caliper to shift.
