How to adjust rad power bike brakes?
To adjust the brakes on a Rad Power Bike, firstly, identify whether you have hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes. For mechanical disc brakes, loosen the bolts that hold the brake calipers in place using the proper size Allen key. This will enable you to center the calipers on the rotor. Then, while squeezing the brake lever, tighten the bolts while keeping the calipers centered. For hydraulic disc brakes, you will need to adjust the brake pads using the adjusting barrel. Start by releasing the brake lever, and then turn the adjusting barrel until the brake pad is close to the rotor. Squeeze the brake lever again and continue to adjust the barrel until you achieve the desired brake pad clearance.
