Adjuster Brake
How to adjust bike brake tension ?
With properly tensioned brakes, the brake pads should be positioned 1mm to 2mm from the rim and easily grab the rim when the brake lever is squeezed. To adjust the tension, you can do a few things:
Some brakes have a small screw at the bottom of the brake arm, which allows for small adjustments to be made to the distance between the rim and the pads. Turning the screw clockwise will move the pad away from the rim; turning the screw counterclockwise will move the pad closer.
Another possibility is to adjust the barrel adjuster at the brake levers or at the brakes. Turn the adjuster one turn, and note the results adjusting for more or less tension.
You can also try removing both of the brake arms and changing the frame mounting hole in which the spring pin is inserted. Reinstall the brake spring in the top or the highest of the three holes. Readjust the brake and check the results.
If the fine-tuning of the screw, barrel adjuster, and spring pin is not enough to increase tension on the brakes, you'll have to loosen the cable bolt (which holds the cable in place), pull the cable tighter, and retighten the bolt. Special tools can facilitate this procedure including a third-hand tool (which holds the brakes together) and a fourth-hand tool (which pulls the cable tight). With four hands working for you, you can't go wrong!
There are a few general rules of thumb you can keep in mind when making adjustments:
- You shouldn't be able to "bottom out" the hand levers against the handlebars while fully clamping down on the brakes.
- Your brakes shouldn't rub the rims.
- You shouldn't be able to push the front or rear wheel and get it to move while the brakes are applied.
- The front and rear brakes should feel relatively even in brake lever tension.

Changing the rear brakes on my 97 Sentra. How do I get the star adjuster to spin out?
I guess I'm just stuck on stupid cuz I've done this cars brakes before but I can't get the adjuster to spin out. Got to go to work in the morning so can you help?
Not sure what you'r asking. You have to adjust the self adjusters all the way in to install the brake shoes. Then you turn the star out with a screwdriver until the shoes are close to the brake drum. Then you drive backwards, hitting the brakes every few feet until it feels right and the handbrake is correct. And yes, you can adjust the self adjusters by applying the handbrake as you go backwards slowly.
