Introduction

With mechanical disc brakes, we adjust brakes if our brake lever pulls all the way into the handle bar. This guide will show how to adjust those brakes, specifically Tektro Aries MD-M300. However, this process should work with other mechanical brakes too. The process is quite easy and anyone can complete the guide without extensive knowledge of bicycles.

  1. QW2DsN1B5K2koqYE

    • You will see a cable attached to an Allen bolt.

  2. yKOHCIVhTNApq1Vf

    • Loosen up the bolt with the help of Hex key set.

    • Now, pull the cable as much as you can.

  4. XAcVZiyHDogCHLh6

    • Tighten up the bolt while you keep pulling the cable.

    • To center the caliper for a smooth breaking experience, loosen up the two bolts of the brake situated at top and at bottom.

  6. n4LD1uuVYlOk2CN5

    • Now, put the brake on.

    • While putting the brake on, tighten up both the bolts.

    • You are finished adjusting the brakes!

    The bolts you indicate for adjustment are caliper to frame mounting bolts, NOT ADJUSTING BOLTS.

    The adjustment bolts are on top of the caliper mounting bracket.

    Please revise.

Dude, the cable is attached incorrectly. The cable routes up and over the little arm.
