    there is a Allen bolt on the inside of the caliper. look through the rim from the side with out brakes and you will see it, just tighten those if they are avid there is a red nob thing you can do it by hand.

    !!! Noobs at work !!!
    You can’t change the tension of a hydraulic brake, like in this video, the magura marta.
    The screw of this brake just holds the cable to the brake lever.
    So you can’t change something, turning this screw.

  14. bebijill Said,

    most people are right handed. why use right hand for front wheel, most of the time were using right hand.. more power at the rear brake using righthand..
