Bike Troubleshooting - Help

[Rahul Mehta]

Hi,

 

My nephew tinkered with my bike and now the brakes are touching the wheel, with me pressing the brake lever on the handle.

 

I have a Firefox Cyclone and the showroom is pretty far from my place. Any tips on what could be wrong and how to fix this problem??

 

Thanks,

 

Rahul

Hi Rahul,

there should be a turn screw beside the brake shoe. In some
bikes it is a very narrow cylinder. I do not know what it is called
though.
Turning it anti-clockwise will make it move toward the
wheel. you can do minor adjustments with this. If it does not work
you might need to take out the cables and re-adjust.

I would suggest on doing it yourself. Look through the videos on
youtube. Let us know how it goes..
