5. Install the wheel, making sure the brake rotor fits into the slot in the caliper. Center the caliper
around the brake rotor, then tighten the caliper mounting bolts.

rotor without rubbing.
7. Using the caliper barrel adjustor, adjust the outside brake pad so it is as close as possible to the
rotor without rubbing.

1. Check the tightness of the six disc mounting bolts holding the
brake rotor onto the wheel. If you need to remove these bolts,
be sure to us a thread-locking compound when re-installing
them.
2. Make sure the two bolts securing the caliper adaptor bracket to
the fork are tight.
3. Thread the brake cable through the caliper as shown and
secure it with the cable fixing bolt.
4. Loosen the two caliper mounting bolts enough to allow the
brake caliper to float freely.
Disc brakes require breaking in. Ride and use the
brakes gently for about 13 miles before using the
brakes in downhill conditions, for sudden stops, or
any other serious braking. Please be aware that your
brake system will change in performance throughout the wear-
in process. The disc brake should be cleaned before the first
ride using rubbing alcohol. NEVER use oil or similar products to
clean your disc brake system.
Avoid touching the rotor (disc) with your fingers at any time.
naturally oily fingers can contaminate the rotor and/or the brake
pads and diminish the brake’s effectiveness.
!
Brake rotors get hot! Severe injury could result
from contact with the hot rotor. Mind your legs,
as well as your hands.
