INSTALLING THE CALIPER ARMS
- Apply light grease to the canti-bosses, arm bushings , springs, spring
plates and spring pockets in the arms before installation onto the fork.
Be sure to insert the spring plate so that the flat interfaces with the adjusting allen screws inside the
brake arms correctly. Insert the smaller spring end into the spring plate . The longer spring arm fits into
the fork.
Slide the drive side brake arm onto the canti-post first aligning the longer spring end with the middle hole
in the fork. (The outer hole will increase the spring tension the most; selecting the inner hole will result
in the least spring tension.) Apply Loctite 243 to the threads and tighten the mounting bolt to 5Nm, (44
InLbs).
Using the same spring hole as selected in step 2, slide the non-drive side brake arm onto the canti-boss
and tighten bolt to 5Nm,(44 InLbs). Slide the brake cable through the hole in the non-drive brake arm and
secure with the cable anchor bolt. When the two arms are flush with the outside of the fork or chainstay
– tighten the cable anchor bolt to 5Nm,(44 InLbs)
SETTING THE PAD-TO-RIM CLEARANCE
- The brake pad clearance with the wheel rim braking surface
should be 2–3 mm. Use a combination of the 1 mm and 2mm spacers to set the pad reach. To ensure
good thread engagement between the T-NUT and brake pad bolt, be sure to use the correct T-NUT. Make
fine adjustments by adjusting the at brake cable. Be sure to reinstall the brake pad retaining pin if you
change the T-NUT.
