How to adjust front brake tension?

[indiewhispers]

As above, how do I adjust the front brakes tension? For the rear brake, I can turn the knob near the area below suspension there. But for the front brakes, how do I tighten/loosen the tension when depressing the brake lever? Now when press feels a bit hard.

Not all bike can adjust.

base on wat u post abt adjusting the rear brake, i assume u riding a cub kia(wave, spark).

 

The stock front brake tension cannot be adjust..

u can try spray abit of WD40 on the hinge and the pivot where the brake pump being push..

if still too tight, have a trusted mech to check on the front brake system.

maybe pump kit started to give way..

nope..

bleeding will juz replace the whole brake system wif fresh brake fluid and get rid of spongy feeling after long distance ride/prolong braking..

The harder the brake feels the better, spongy/soft response means there's air, or too flexible brake lines etc. Just get used to it.
