Fine Tuning
BEFORE EACH RIDE
• Check cables for signs of wear or fraying.
• Squeeze the brake lever firmly and check for proper brake
function. Adjust for pad wear if necessary.
• Check pads for wear and replace if necessary.
• Ensure rotors are free of foreign substances and oils.
CABLE SLACK ADJUSTMENT
Use the barrel adjuster on the
brake lever to remove any cable
slack from the system. Turn the
adjuster out until there is no free
play in the lever but not so far that
the torque arm on the caliper is
advanced. The torque arm should
return completely when the brake
lever is released. If necessary,
repeat step 6.
Note: New cables will stretch and
require adjustment.
PAD BREAK-IN
It may take anywhere from 20 to 40 complete stops to break
in Avid pads. You may begin to notice an increase in braking
power after the first ride. Brake noise can occur not only
during the break-in period but off and on throughout the life
of the brake pads. Noise is dependent upon factors such as
brake setup, rider weight, riding style, braking style, and
riding conditions (i.e. dust, soil, and contamination of
friction surfaces).
CARE AND CLEANING
Extreme care must be taken when cleaning both the bicycle
and its new disc brakes. Under normal use, it is not
necessary to clean the caliper rotor or pads. If necessary,
use only water and dish detergent to wash the caliper and
rotor – being sure to thoroughly rinse all soap residue from
the rotor. Dry with a clean paper towel.
SPRING TENSION ADJUSTMENT
If necessary, spring tension can be adjusted by turning the
spring tension adjustment screw with a 2.5mm hex wrench.
Turning the screw clockwise increases spring tension,
which equals harder lever pull.
