2.
Remove the brake pad fitting screw with a 2mm allen key.
3.
Pull out the brake pads. Their „ears“ make this very easy.
Minimum thickness of a
brake pad plus holder is 2,5 mm.
Never squeeze the lever blade without the brake pads in place and the wheel
mounted! If this happened by accident push back the pistons by using the transport
device or a flat blade screwdriver.
Use only genuine MAGURA brake pads! MAGURA cannot guarantee a
correct function of the brake if you use brake pads from other manufacturers, which
were not tested! Using other pads (e.g. sinterized ones!) might cause poor braking,
overheating of the system and resulting total brake failure causing serious accidents!
All warranty claims will be void in case of misuse!
4.
Clean on the occasion of the brake pad change, the brake body with a clean rag.
Make sure that the friction side of the new brake pads points towards the rotor
.
5.
Secure the new pads with the fitting screw, a new one is delivered with the new
pads.
Tightening torque: 1 Nm/ 9 in.lbs. Check the correct fitting of the pads by pul-
ling them. The fitting bolt of the pads has to be correctly installed e.g. it has to go
through the drills of the pad holders and then correctly screwed into the caliper.
6
. Re-install the wheel and check for a
correctly tightened quick release skewer of the wheel
which should be mounted
on the opposite side of the caliper.
7.
Squeeze the lever blade several times (pump) to push the pads to their proper positi-
on until the lever feel becomes very firm.
New brakes and/or new rotors or brake pads must always be run in by braking
at least 30 times from a speed of 30 km/h to achieve the maximum brake power.
Take your bike to a safe place to run in the brake.
Never contaminate brake pads with oil or grease this causing permanent loss of
brake power! Contaminated pads are definitely killed and must be
replaced!
