Set pad position, adjust cable tension, and center the caliper using the brake type and symptoms you describe. Leave with a repair sequence and stopping-point checks so you know what to inspect before riding.

How to use it
In your first message, name the brake type, describe exactly what the lever and wheel do, and mention recent tire or wheel work. Include pad or rotor wear if you can see it.
What you bring
- Brake type and bike model
- Symptoms and recent changes
- Pad, rotor, or rim condition
- Identify rim or disc brakes
A good fit for
- Rim-brake pads rub the wheel after you changed a tire
- Your brake lever pulls to the handlebar before braking
- A disc rotor scrapes after you removed and reinstalled the wheel
Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
My front V-brake rubs the rim on the left after I changed the tube. How should I center the pads and balance the arms?
My rear mechanical disc brake lever nearly reaches the handlebar, and the pads look far from the rotor. What should I adjust first?
My road bike rim brakes stop weakly in the rain. The pads are about 2 mm from the rim. How do I check alignment and cable tension?
