Fine Tuning

BEFORE EACH RIDE

• Check cables for signs of wear or fraying.

• Squeeze the brake lever firmly and check for proper brake

function. Adjust for pad wear if necessary.

• Check pads for wear and replace if necessary.

• Ensure rotors are free of foreign substances and oils.

CABLE SLACK ADJUSTMENT

Use the barrel adjuster on the

brake lever to remove any cable

slack from the system. Turn the

adjuster out until there is no free

play in the lever but not so far that

the torque arm on the caliper is

advanced. The torque arm should

return completely when the brake

lever is released. If necessary,

repeat step 6.

Note: New cables will stretch and

require adjustment.

PAD BREAK-IN

It may take anywhere from 20 to 40 complete stops to break

in Avid pads. You may begin to notice an increase in braking

power after the first ride. Brake noise can occur not only

during the break-in period but off and on throughout the life

of the brake pads. Noise is dependent upon factors such as

brake setup, rider weight, riding style, braking style, and

riding conditions (i.e. dust, soil, and contamination of

friction surfaces).

CARE AND CLEANING

Extreme care must be taken when cleaning both the bicycle

and its new disc brakes. Under normal use, it is not

necessary to clean the caliper rotor or pads. If necessary,

use only water and dish detergent to wash the caliper and

rotor – being sure to thoroughly rinse all soap residue from

the rotor. Dry with a clean paper towel.

SPRING TENSION ADJUSTMENT

If necessary, spring tension can be adjusted by turning the

spring tension adjustment screw with a 2.5mm hex wrench.

Turning the screw clockwise increases spring tension,

which equals harder lever pull.
