Hand brake adjustment for schwinn point beach crusier

There will always be a small gap in the bearing ring, and not all hubs take the same amount. However, if the balls are 3/16" there are almost always 10 on each side. If they are 1/4 inch (less common) then 9 is the correct amount. DO NOT replace only some of them - replace only in a full set of 20 or 18.

hi, it all depends on what make and type of vehicle as there are many varieties of hand brake cable set-ups. what is it you wish to adjust brake on?
Paul.

Search engine "how to shift gears": or find the generic bike manual for Schwinns which can be found by searching for "schwinn bicycle manual". See how that works?.

Try an adjustable wrench. I think that the nut is 7/16th's or 1/2 (english units).

Use 2 adjustable wrenches to hold both sides.

More than likely the problem is on the brake or the brake cable. Corrostion builds up on the cable and restricts cable movement. The other item could be the springs on the brake itself need adjustment. To lube the cable remove the cable from the housing, use a light grade oil on the cable and lube the inside of the cable housing also TriFlpw is an excellent lubrication.

It's called a quill stem.

Google "how to adjust the quill stem on a bike" for video tips or just read this...

Hi,

Let us start with the rear. The brake arms will have a small screw located on them near the pivot. You can screw these in to adjust the relation of the pad to the rim. You can also (if that didn't take care of it) remove the brake arm and move the spring's pin to the next hole to make sure it properly clears itself.
The front can be tightened on the brake levers with the adjustment barrel, or, if that is already fully turned out, turn it all the way back in and release the cable at the brake itself and retighten it when you have adequately adjusted the brake there.
Check out Parktool.com's repair help page (located at the top right hand of their homepage) for excellent detailed and illustrated help in bike maintenance.

Hope this helps a little,

One side of a center-pull brake can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the cable itself (the side with a screw holding the cable in place)
The other side will have a small screw to adjust the tension on the spring.
Sounds like you need to adjust your spring tension screw.

Give it a full (360-degree) rotation and work the brakes a few times. If the problem is worse, then you need to adjust it the other way. If it's getting better, then you're getting closer.
Make several small adjustments, and work the brakes a few times after each one, and you should be all set.
