How do I adjust the brake pads on Shimano Claris Dual-Pivot BR-R2000?

To adjust the brake pads, first loosen the bolt securing the pad. Align the pad so it is parallel to the rim and tighten the bolt. Ensure the pad does not touch the tire and that there's even contact with the rim.

What should I do if my Shimano Claris BR-R2000 brakes are squealing?

Squealing can be caused by dirt or misalignment. Clean the rims and brake pads with alcohol. Ensure the pads are aligned correctly and toe-in slightly, meaning the front of the pad makes contact with the rim first.
