I also had problems with the brakes but took it to a bike shop cheap and done right

Tie wraps as in plastic zip ties? The way I adjusted the brakes was to loosen the nut that fastens the cable onto the horseshoe shaped brake mechanism and pinch the brake pads against the rim, then you would simply tighten the nut. If you needed to adjust further you would try the screw on the cable at the brake handle end.

you have to make sure that the brake pads are lined up with the wheels, and then adjust at the end of the cable down by the wheel. You will have to use alittle wrench.

Well, that's quite a question. You could try looping one end around the trunk or a branch then latch that end to itself. That could make the tie out too short. I'd suggest you get some screw rings (kinda like heavy duty mug holders) from a hardware store and use those in the trees for adjustable tension.

What I did and it seemed to work find was stretch the entire wrap around your steering wheel. Keep the short cords at the bottom. Then use the long one to wrap around the cover. Keep each wrap an even distance apart. You should have plenty to make it all the way around. When you make it to the short cord tie it off and snip the extra. NOTE when you are wrapping the long cord try and keep it flat and tight. This will keep it smooth and prevent bunching up.

I found that the easiest and most efficient way is from front to back: fit over handlebars and front wheel, stretch to the rear, fit over one wheel, and then pull cover over to the opposite wheel. Then make final adjustments. It helps to defeat wind effect if you place margin of the cover under each wheel.

I Tried tO adjust my brakes to hold better. I don't have an answer to your question. I will take my problem to a local bicycle shop in Palm Desert to adjust my brakes. My attempts to increase pressure on wheels was not successful.

Feed the little elastic straps on the seat cover through the eye hole of the hook, then pull the hook through the center of the elastic strap and tighten. Then hook it onto something sturdy to keep the seat covers from moving around

We used Highland 92106 6' Cambuckle Tie Downs that we also got from Amazon. Didn't stretch and buckle can be tightened. You have to set the hooks so they don't drop off with the vibrations. I think we ended up pushing the ends through and connection them to themselves.

There are great tutorials on youtube for how to wrap bar tape. It's not terribly obvious if you haven't done before, but it isn't terribly difficult to do. The sticky strip is really just to help - tension is what holds the tape on the bars, essentially. Look up Global Cycle Network's tutorial, it is quite thorough. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8PqH7bltJQ

You start fairly tight and adjust. Too tight and it will not slide loosing all effectiveness. Too loose and you will have sway.

Try white control out so it shuts off about a foot from roller then can adjust to where u want

If anything would help ,I would use the regular black Gorilla tape which has a cloth backing. Clean the back and apply 4" strips across the split and then 2 strips over the length .Trim the ends if needed. Then press down firmly ( step on it ) .I hope that this helps, Dave , Good Luck.

A better solution is a breaker bar. This can be used to tighten lugs, but it's much easier with the breaker bar. I had to stand on the bar for it to loosen lugs.

Just start in an inconspicuous place. Down low.? Make it wrap around diagonally. Keep it about a little over an inch apart. Make full circle. Tie it off back at your start. Don't pull too hard on string wrap. It breaks easy.

I used an open end wrench. You can also use a dedicated Oxygen Sensor wrench if you like.

Yes. There are 2 adjustments for 1) How much total braking you apply and 2) How fast the brakes are applied.

Install dummie sensor at the outer-most part of rim. Install bracket with o-ring on handle bars and use zip ties (no need to wrap wire around forks or handle bars) to tie wire to bike. Installs with zip ties and o-ring; no biggie. Find someone that's mechanically inclined if you're still having trouble; they won't find it difficult at all.

I just used reducers and a mig. Get someone to tighten reducer on for you will help
