    • Clean and lubricate the parts as necessary before reattaching the caliper arms.

    • Bolt the caliper arms back on while making sure the the pin on the back side of the caliper arm lines back up with the one of the holes in the frame. Each side should be in the same hole.

    • Get an ordinary piece of paper, and fold it twice over.

    • Place the sheet of paper between the brake pad and the rim in the position shown.

    What's the reason of doing this? Is it to keep 1 or 2 mm gap between the pad and rim or to 'toe-in' the break bad?

    Helps to prevent brake chatter by feathering in the pads to the rim.

    Is this some kind of spacer? I saw other (video) using credit card.

    • Align the brake pad so that it is flush with the rim, with no part touching the rubber of the tire.

    • Have somebody clamp down very tightly on the brakes.

    • Tighten the brake pad bolt in place.

    The brake lever could also be held down with a cable tie, velcro strap, or a strong elastic band

    An old toe clip strap works also

    • Tighten/loosen the tension adjustment screws on each the caliper arm to adjust the resting distance of each brake pad, so that each pad is equally distant from the rim. Tightening the screw will shift the caliper outward from the bike, loosening it will shift it inward.

    • Tighten/loosen the brake adjuster on the handle bars such that when you clamp down on the brakes, the brake lever stops before hitting the handle bar. This will set the distance between the brake pads and the rim.

    • Tighten the lock nut on the brake adjuster to permanently set its position.

    Very good!,Was wondering about some small details . This clered it out. Thx

    In Deutschland werden diese Bremsen nicht als Cantilever Bremsen bezeichnet, sondern als V-Brakes.

“what does it mean if the point is red???? “

I believe that is indicating that this step corresponds to an image which highlights a specific step. I saw this two times, in step 4 and step 9. For step 4, it shows the highlight in the second image and for step 9, the highlight is in the first image. It seems that the red bullet point is just to make it easier to map the step to the image.

Hope this helps

where did you get the brake arms from?

I am looking for full metal ones like that,

If your brakes still feel off, you can make further adjustments using the barrel adjuster or by fine-tuning the cable tension at the anchor bolt.
