Remove the transport device shortly before installing the wheel.
The transport device prevents the brake pads from being pushed out too
far by unintended lever squeeze. It is impossible then to install the wheel with
the rotor. So never throw away the transport device! Keep it and always clip
it between the brake pads when the wheel is removed.
Install the wheel by positioning the rotor between the brake pads and fixing the
wheel in the dropouts. Close the quick release of your wheel
which you should mount
on the opposite side of the brake caliper
and tighten it sufficiently. As to thru-axle
hubs or wheels consult the manual of the respective fork manufacturer.
Squeeze the lever blade several times (pump) to push the pads to their proper
position until the lever feel becomes very firm.

Correctly mounted disc brake wheel.
Do not worry when you hear friction between rotor and pads. A slight drag
is normal on disc brakes with automatic pad wear adjustment during the break-
in period. This drag will disappear after a while. The reason for this is that the
brake pads find their optimum working position towards the rotor, only after a
slight wear during the break-in period. Slight drag might also happen after a
brake pad change or in case of an incorrectly installed wheel.
In case of a
constantly dragging
disc brake causing noise your frame is badly
aligned. In such a case you should contact your dealer who can care with the MAGURA
Gnann-o-mat disc optimizer for a totally even surface of the disc brake mounts. These
are absolutely necessary for a drag free function of your brake.
New brakes and/or new rotors or brake pads must always be run in by
breaking at least 30 times from a speed of 30km/h to achieve the maximum
brake power. Take your bike to a safe place to run in the brake.
Reach adjust is done with a 2,5mm Allen key.
Turning key clockwise: lever
blade moves away from the handlebar, turning counterclockwise: blade moves to the
handlebar.
WARNING: The reach adjust screw becomes very firm when you risk to
overtighten it. Do not continue to screw it in/out in such a case. Misuse can
lead to brake failure! The adjust screw must not be flush wih the drill in the
lever blade. Re-install the dust cover once you have adjusted the reach adjust
properly. In case of a creaking lever grease the master piston with from aside
with a lubricant like WD 40 oil.
