– Tighten the bolts securely but not overly tight.
8. Test the brakes:
– Give the brake lever a few squeezes to check the brake pad alignment.

9. Adjust if necessary:
– If the brakes are not engaging evenly, make minor adjustments to the pad placement.

– Double-check that all bolts are tightened and secure.
– Test the brakes at low speeds to ensure they work correctly.
11. Reassemble and test ride:
