Hello! How can we help you?

How do I center the Trionic brake ?

If the rear wheel on your Veloped/Walker doesn’t turn free, it could be that the brake is not centered and it rubs against the brake hub (brake surface). By centering the brake, there will be free space between the brake and the brake hub, and the wheel spins free again.

Just follow these simple steps: 

Step 1:Locate the top hole in the brake cover that gives you access to the M5 screw that holds the brake, by using a 4mm Allen key.

Step 2:Loosen the screw 2 turns (anti-clockwise).

 


Loosening the M5 brake screw two turns with a 4 mm Allen key through the top hole in the brake cover Loosen the brake screw 2 full turns

Step 3: Pull the brake lever tight and hold it.

Step 4: While holding the brake lever pulled, tighten the brake screw with the 4mm Allen key.


Tightening the brake screw with a 4 mm Allen key while holding the brake lever pulledPull the brake lever and hold it. While holding the brake lever, tighten the brake screw.    

Step 5: Test the brake clearance by spinning the wheel and checking that there is no rubbing between the brake and the brake hub.

NOTE:The brake lever in the picture may differ from the brake lever on your Veloped/Walker.

  • Veloped - An Absolute Necessity!…

    In 2011, I was cycling to the bus station to take a bus into Manchester where I worked. I was hit by a car driven by a 74-year-old man who wasn’t looking for a cyclist (I had right of way!) and he struck me as he turned in front of me. My head struck…

  • Rain cover…

    What should I review?
    The cover is fine and stays secure even in thunderstorms and rain. Leaving it for days under the scorching sun is not good - there is a risk that it will crack.…

  • Nicholas MacLean…

    The Veloped Tour is the Rolls-Royce of walkers. Quality materials and construction, the 12" pneumatic wheels make for effortless manoeuvrability and progress over uneven ground, pavements and kerbs.
    I am very pleased with this product and the afte…

  • Increased quality of life…

    Bought a Veloped for my wife who suffered from a joint problem. She is very extremely satisfied. However, I have to buy one for myself too. I'm having trouble keeping up with her on our walks.…

  • Suggestion…

    Good morning,
    I am very happy to write to you. As you know my wife sees only 5% per eye and, after the initial difficulties, now she gets along very well with her walker. Sure, someone always must be there, but that has nothing to do with this great…

  • New grips…

    The new grips fit & work perfectly. I found they were easy to install but I do have some mechanical skills.

    I have owned my 12er for about six years and have completed 5 Marathons (26.2 mi) with it. I estimate I have walked nearly 3,500 miles with…

  • I have christen her Ingrid…

    She is much admired particularly by me. She offers so much more stability over sticks, beautifully designed and made, the only thing I have added is a strap to clamp her together when manoeuvring in and out of the car. Looking at the brochure I was w…

  • Perfect even on uneven ground…

    My parents (both over 90 years old) are just learning to appreciate the new Walkers. The large wheels, in combination with the attachment of the steering wheels via toothed belts, allow for safe walking even on our uneven outdoor natural stone floori…

  • Finally, it is possible to be active in a relaxed way again!…

    At the age of 54, due to a sudden illness, I went in a very short time from being an active athlete to someone who only walks unsteadily, with small, wide-legged steps and in pain. This slow and forced walking also caused me severe Achilles tendiniti…
