There may still be differences between the wheels even if the handle is positioned correctly

- Adjustment is simple: just tighten the wire. All brakes are adjusted by pulling the rigging screw on the steel bar behind the drawhead. When you turn the screw, the entire bar becomes shorter or longer.
- As a rule of thumb, the adjustment is correct when the handle points straight up.
- If wheels differ in terms of their brakes, you can adjust them by turning the screws on the draw adjustment plate. The screws are attached either to the outgoing wires or steel bars.
- When the draw adjustment plates are roughly in a straight angle with regard to the drawing bar, brake adjustment is in balance.

Brake sensitivity can be separately adjusted for each brake drum.

- When you have roughly adjusted the brakes from the rigging screw and draw adjustment plates, you can fine-tune them by tightening the 17 mm bolt in the brake plate and turning the wheel at the same time until you feel the grip of the brakes. Then one or two turns back (the same number of turns for each wheel). The brakes have now been adjusted.

Note: All brake hubs nowadays have reversing automatics so there is no need for separate latch locking.
