Adjustment
3.1
Pad clearance adjustment
Turn the adjust knob of the brake lever’s brake fluid reservoir and
pull the brake lever until you have found the best braking position
for your hand
(to set the pressure point of the braking system to personal
preference).
Turning inwards (clockwise):
distance between the brake pads becomes smaller, so, smaller
brake lever stroke required.
Turning outwards (anti-clockwise):
distance between the brake pads becomes bigger, so, bigger
brake lever stroke required.
Due to normal pad wear during riding, the clearance between the
pads and rotor will increase.
So, it’s important to check the adjustment before and during each
ride.
Brake pad wear can be compensated and brake pad to rotor
clearance can be adjusted.
Turn the adjust knob clockwise to bring the brake pads closer to
the rotor.
(Illustration: caliper, brake pads and rotor).
If you’re not able to adjust the brake system to the desired braking point (position of your hand or brake
lever blade when the brake pads engage the rotor), please check if the pads are worn out.
If so, replace place them.
If no, please consult your authorised Giant dealer.
