Manual to modify the rear postmound adapter
at the Capra
Preamble
Due to given tolerances when manufacturing goods, it might happen
that the brake-pads of the Brake assembled on your CAPRA does not
fully cover the surface of the Disc.
Because of this there had been cases that a little part of the brake-pad
remains untouched.
In no case this is a frunctionality- or security-decreasing issue but only
cosmetical.
However, we decided to alter the Adapter in its height to ensure the
brake-pads to cover the disc completely.
Additionally we send you some new brake pads so that you can swap
them with those which are worn unevenly.
The following manual describes in detail how to swap the adapter and
the brake-pads.

- Now adjust the brake-caliper according to the light- gap between disc and
brake-pads (picture 11)
- After this carefully tighten the screws in an altering way so that the brakecaliper does not vary in its position
- Finally tighten the screws with 8 to 10 Nm.
