INSTALLATION: REVER MCX1 CONTINUED
DISC BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR BED-IN PROCEDURE
New brake pads and rotors should be put through a wear-in process called
“bed-in”. The bed-in procedure, which should be performed prior to your
first ride, ensures the most consistent and powerful braking feel along with
the quietest braking in most riding conditions. The bed-in process heats
up the brake pads and rotors which deposits an even layer of brake pad
material (transfer layer) to the braking surface of the rotor. It is this transfer
layer that optimizes braking performance.
The bed-in process requires you to perform heavy braking. You must be
familiar with the power and operation of disc brakes. Braking heavily when
not familiar with the power and operation of disc brakes could cause you
to lose control of your bicycle, which could lead to a crash and could result
in serious injury. If you are unfamiliar with the power and operation of disc
brakes, you should have the bed-in process performed by a qualified
bicycle mechanic.
Step 1:
Accelerate the bike to a moderate speed, then firmly apply the
brakes until you are at walking speed. Repeat twenty times.
Step 2:
Accelerate the bike to a faster speed. Then very firmly apply the
brakes until you are at walking speed. Repeat ten times.
ONGOING MAINTENANCE
If you lack proper tools, knowledge, or patience to get the job done right,
visit your friendly, professional mechanic for assistance. In the event you lose
or break part of your Rever brake caliper, spare parts are available through
your local bike shop, or contact Rever directly at [email protected].
DISC BRAKE PAD MAINTENANCE
• Do not get oil or grease on the rotor or disc brake pads. This could cause
the brakes to perform poorly or not at all
• If while riding, your brake(s) makes noise, it could be caused by pads that
are worn past the safe, usable limit. Before checking the pads’ thickness,
make sure the system has cooled down to prevent injury. Check that
the thickness of each pad is 0.5mm or more, not including the thickness
of the backing plate
• The Rever MCX1 caliper is compatible with the Shimano
®
G-Type
disc brake pad shape
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
• Always make sure the front and rear brake are working correctly before
you ride. Squeeze brake levers and attempt to move bike to ensure
cables and brake pads move freely. Check to make sure cables are not
frayed and check housing for cracks and corrosion
• The required braking distance will be longer during wet weather.
Reduce your speed and apply brakes early and gently
• For best performance, make sure the caliper, rotor, and disc brake pads
are free of dirt, mud, ice, or any other contaminants
