With your left hand squeeze the caliper brake until both brake pads contact the rim. While holding the brake closed with your left hand, use your right hand to pull the brake cable tight (through the cable anchor) again inspecting that the cable end is seated in the brake lever, and the barrel adjuster of the brake. Tighten the cable anchor as much as you can by hand, and then while still squeezing the brake, tighten the cable anchor fully with a wrench. (Fig. 3.18) ASSEMBLY 3.18 32 ©2010
