Tektro brake adjustment: How do I adjust my brakes myself?

Adjusting your Tektro brakes can seem daunting, but it's not that hard. In this article, we'll show you how to do it.

Step 1: Determine which type of brake you have

It is possible to determine the type of brake you have with Tektro's brake lever if you are unsure. There are three types of brakes: hydraulic, cable, and lever. 

Hydraulic brakes use a fluid to help slow or stop the bike, and Cable brakes use metal cables to stop the bike. Lever brakes use a handlebar-mounted lever to apply pressure to a caliper, which stops the bike.

Step 2: Loosen the brake cable bolt

Once the brake cable is free from the handlebar, it can be loosened by turning the bolt located on the cable approximately 1/4 turn.

Step 3: Adjust the brake pads

To adjust the brake pads, you will need to remove the front wheel. Most bikes attach the front wheel to the bike by either a bolt or a clamp-on. Once the front wheel is off, you can access the brake pads. 

To adjust the brake pads, you will need to loosen the bolt that holds them in place and then move them up or down.

Step 4: Tighten the brake cable bolt

Adjusting Tektro brakes can be a daunting task, but it can be done quickly and easily with a little bit of effort. 

Follow these simple steps, and you'll have your Tektro brakes adjusted in no time!
