2.3 – A Hydraulic Brake upgrade is available for all 16.0
models. The Tektro Auriga Comp has been modified by
OSET so that hose lengths are a correct fit. While the
brakes do come with full instructions, we have included
the basics here.
The basic calliper adjustment and alignment to the disc
rotor are the same as per the cable operated version as
mentioned earlier. Lever reach can be adjusted on the
front of the lever, while the biting point is adjusted with
a 2.5mm Allen key at the master cylinder.
Hydraulic disc brakes offer benefits to the rider in terms
of lowering the resistance of the brake lever to move
(ideal for little hands) and increasing stopping power.
Generally these brakes require less maintenance than
their cable operated counterparts as there is no cable
that needs lubricating and tensioning. Similarly the pads
return with more force due to the mechanics of this type
of system.
However, in the event of a damaged hose these brakes
may require a re-bleed to fill the system back up with
mineral oil, and to remove any air from the system. In
this scenario we would advise your local OSET dealership
to carry out the repair, unless you are proficient yourself.
