Does anyone know how to adjust the brakes on this once the wheels have worn slightly down?

I don't know how to adjust the breaks, but it may be worth looking into replacing the back 8" wheels if the brakes can't be reset easily. You can check this link for wheel parts and maybe they could answer your question also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCoECckvZzc&feature=youtu.be Had a hard time finding links for COSCO walkers let alone parts - - they really are a great product:

The brakes on nine were too tight. I think there is a way to adjust them underneath. I have never tried though.

I have a wierd bike and I had to make adjustments for my bike. Try a bike store, they may be able to help.

There are "handle squeeze brakes" that only lock the wheels when squeezed till you hear a click. You an slow your pace, if that is your question.

If the walker is brand new (out of the box), it may take more effort to push DOWN on the brake handles. They should not need any adjusting at this point (I would not attempt to adjust them if you don't have experience doing this sort of thing).

For me, improper adjustment was the cause. I watched a few YouTube videos, and adjusted them myself. Problem solved. A bike shop can do it for you if your not a DIYr.

You could use rim brakes. You could just take the arm of the hub and the brakes would not work. Doug

Yes. Push the brake handles down to lock the wheels. (The assistant pulls them up toward the chair handles for momentary braking.) I did see that in the manual, but was afraid I might break the brake handles ... so I phoned Invacare tech support. The agent assured me they wouldn't break, and in fact worked as designed.

I'm not able to help, I put this together for my granddaughter for Christmas last year and it's been at her house so I can't even look at it. If I remember correctly there were some kind of spacers that went on before/after the wheel itself and it was a little difficult to get them on. Sorry I can't help.

Hmmm not sure, I will try mine when I get home! Have not had an issue, mine was the wheel coming off!!

Not sure, but it sounds like cable needs to be shortened slightly. This is usually done by adjusting the fittings where the cable attaches to the brake handle.

If you look towards the bottom of the pic you can see small wheels under where the springs are. You would turn them to increase or decrease the tension.

After a while, just replace the buffing wheel. They're relatively cheap and do the job.

Forgot to mention....I adjusted my seat and handlebars, and had Ace Hardware attach some brakes on the upper part of the handlebars as well as to make it easier to use the brakes when sitting upright. It is also a good idea to have Ace or someone else qualified to tune it after assembly.

There doesn't seem to be any options in the software that inhibit the wheel from moving like that. I would guess its a hardware issue, maybe something is stuck or broken. Perhaps opening it up could help you find out (if it doesnt void the warrantythat is, if it does then contact customer service)

1) Make sure the back rim is out of round. I thought that at first then realized it was an optical illusion with the back tire.2) If the rim is out of round contact the manufacturer and discuss this with them. They will send out a new rim.3) The brake is identical to bicycle hand brakes. Google bike hand brake adjustments or loosen the cable a little going to the brake mechanism itself. This will take a few hand tools like Allen Wrenches and pliers. Also, make sure one brake pad is not sticking out closer to the rim than the other one.

There's definitely a way to do it; I had the same problem initially. If memory serves, there's a little lever or something that you need to push/pull before you can adjust it. Pretty sure it was detailed in the instructions that came with mine.
