Mounting Brake Lever
Loosen and remove the bolt of the master cylinder clamp with a 4mm
Allen wrench, ( Fig. 5 ) place lever / clamp assembly onto the handle
bars and position brake lever in your desired riding position and tighten
the bolt 1.7 ~ 2.26 Nm (15 ~ 20 In. lbs). ( Fig. 6 )
Route the hose down to the fork disc mount or along the frame to
the rear disc mount. Take care to avoid a situation that can damage
or pinch the brake hose. For example, trapping the hose within
suspension fork or rear suspension linkage movement. Also avoid
chaffing the hose on the tire.
D.
Lever Reach Adjustment
This refers to the position of the lever blade relative to the handlebars.
Adjust the position of the lever using the adjuster screw to the desired
lever reach. ( Fig. 7 )
Maintenance
A.
Cleaning
The braking performance will be severely reduced if the system is
contaminated. Clean with water and clean cloth. If the disc rotor
becomes contaminated it can be cleaned by wiping with a cloth with
isopropyl alcohol or disc brake cleaning products designed specifically
for bicycle disc brakes.
B.
Checking for System Leaks
Check the caliper and lever for any signs of fluid leaks and the hose for
any damage such as chaffing against the bike or whenever the bike has
been rough handled or dropped.
A damaged hose could cause a system leak, which will severely impair
braking performance or cause the brakes to fail.
C.
Checking for Brake Pad Wear
Brake pads need replacing when the friction material is worn,
contaminated or damaged. Don’t wait until the friction material is worn
through to the backing plate to replace the pads. To maintain safe and
efficient braking, the pads need to be replaced if the material is worn
down to 0.5mm.
D.
Replacing Brake Pads
Pull out the spring clip and pin with a pair of long nosed pliers (Fig.8).
Remove the old brake pads and forcibly push the piston back with a
plastic tire lever or similar until the pistons bottom out. This is necessary
to give you more room to fit the new pads.
Replace the new brake pads with the backing plate facing the piston
and replace the pin and spring clip back into position.
