CONGRATULATIONS!
You have selected the best mechanical disc brakes your money can buy! This manual contains important information for
installing, setting up and adjusting your new brakes. To ensure that your Avid brakes perform properly, we recommend that you
have them installed by a qualified bicycle mechanic. We also urge you to follow all of our recommendations to help make your
riding experience safe, enjoyable and trouble free.
First, here is some information to get you started:
TRI-ALIGN CALIPER POSITIONING SYSTEM
Avid disc brakes use a unique alignment system called Caliper Positioning
System (CPS). These stacks of concave and convex washers allow the
caliper to be perfectly aligned with the rotor, regardless of imperfections in
the mounting tabs on the fork or frame, giving you full, square pad contact.
TOOLS NEEDED
• 2.5 and 5mm hex wrenches
• T-25 TORX® wrench
• Cable cutters
• Adjustable torque wrench: 2.8-10Nm (25-90 in-lb) range
• Safety Glasses
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT BRACKETS
