Shimano ST-CT95 Shifting/Brake Lever Service Instructions

 /\ WARNING
It is important to completely understand the
operation of your bicycle's brake system.
Improper use of your bicycle's brake system may
result in a loss of control or an accident, which
could lead to severe injury. Because each bicycle
may handle differently, be sure to learn the proper
braking technique (including brake lever pressure
and bicycle control characteristics) and operation
of your bicycle. This can be done by consulting
your professional bicycle dealer and the bicycle's
owners manual, and by practicing your riding and
braking technique.
For the unit link type of cantilever brake, the
brake performance that the brake was designed
to produce can be obtained if the mark in the
center of the cable carrier is directly in line with
the link wire. However, if the cable is bent with
excessive force, it will hinder the smooth
transmission of braking force, or it might make the
cable rub against the frame or cause sharp bends
in the cable, which will in turn cause the cable to
break easily. In addition, if the unit link is forcibly
set to the condition shown in the illustration,
sufficient braking force will not be obtained and
excessive force will be applied at points A and B,
which will also cause the cable to break easily.
Unit link is curved
Link wire
Accordingly, always make sure that the mark in
the center of the cable carrier is directly in line
with the link wire as shown in the illustration when
the brake cable is being installed.
Mark and link wire should
be directly in line
