Introduction
Use this guide to tighten Tektro V-brakes on your Biria: Citibike 700C Model ST 8-Speed Model.
Brakes are an essential part of your bike - ensuring that they are not too loose or tightened to the right parameter is important for your safety. Having faulty brakes can lead to potential issues when it comes to slowing down at the desired rate or can even lead to the bike not braking at all. It is important to tighten your brakes in order to keep yourself and those that you share the road with safe.
Before using this guide, we suggest gathering the tools recommended to tighten the Tektro brakes. We also recommend a tidy workspace and wiping down your bike prior to starting Step 1, as dust, dirt, and any other debris on the bike may make it difficult to properly adjust the bike parts as intended.
