MEET JACOB,

Welcome to the sixthreezero experience. Now for the fun
part... the assembly.
I know, I know, we’ve all had to assemble something we’ve
bought before - a tv stand, coffee table, possibly a grill or
even a bike a time or two before. It’s never fun, it never goes
well, you always lose a nut or a screw and by the time you’re
done, you’d rather destroy whatever it is you’ve bought
than actually use it. Well, I’m here to make sure that doesn’t
happen.
Assembly of a bike can be a fun, engaging, learning
experience. Call up a friend, ask your spouse or child, don’t
rush, and enjoy the process. Part of the fun in building your
bike is telling people “I built it all by myself.” I build bikes
almost everyday and I always learn something new. I enjoy
the process of building something from the ground up, and
I hope you will too.
The instructions were written and designed by me, so if you
have any suggestions please let me know!
Good luck,
MECHANIC / SIXTHREEZERO

Pull the cable outward, reducing the distance between
the brake pads and the rim by about 1/4 inch on both
sides. Retighten the adjustment screw.

Make sure the pads are evenly lined up with the rim. If
the pads rub against the tire, they are too high; if they
don’t make full contact with the rim when braking, they
are too low.
Adjust the positions by holding the brake pad with one
hand and loosening the nut on the back with a 5mm
Allen key.

If one pad seems to run against the rim while the other
still has plenty of space, you will need to center the
brakes. To do this, adjust the spring tensioner screws
located at the base of each brake arm.
Tightening the screw on the right brake arm pushes the
right brake pad away from the rim, and the left brake pad
towards the rim.
Loosening the right screw allows the right brake pad to
move closer to the rim, and the left brake pad away from
the rim.
