Introduzione
If the single-pivot caliper brakes on your Schwinn Solara bicycle are creating a grinding noise when they brake, if there is shaking of the wheel during braking, or decreased responsiveness to pressure on the brake pedal, they require tuning. Brake tuning is necessary to account for wear on the drum and lining that happens when the brake system is used. It is important to take caution during disassembly by following appropriate techniques to ensure a proper repair.
