LB200V - Brake setting...
I changed front brake caliper (under warranty) and now wondering how to make sure my brakes are operating propely. Should they lock front tire when I press lever full (as they don't)? or not?
Also, I changed rear sprocket and again wondering if my rear brakes are adjusted properly. What shall I look for? Thanks in advance. |

my bikes do, if they don't you don't have full stopping power
not sure how to adjust brakes though, there is probably a ton of information on the internet that you could apply to your brakes, as the adjustments are probably pretty much standard |

If they're disc brakes, they're self adjusting. If they're not locking,then there's more than likely air in the system and they're in need of bleeding.

For that back brake put your bike on the wheel stand, spin the back tire, and press the pedal with your hand. You should be able to stop the wheel with just your hand.
