First, you should check the brake pads: If the brake pads have a smooth surface, you must replace them immediately. Then, assess the brake pads’ grip on the rim. Adjust the brake pads until they are at the center of the rim, it should address your issue of bicycle front brake rubbing or rear brake rubbing. Turn the barrel adjuster to the right to increase the brake cable tension. Do the opposite if your brake cable feels too tight. Pull the brake cable outward and hold it in place using your free hand. This maneuver will tighten the caliper and brake pads against the bike’s rim. Testing the brake system is the last step to adjust brakes on a bike.
