Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Tektro Dorado is simplified by the EZ Plug-in system, which keeps the hydraulic line pre-bled and pressure-tested from the factory.
- Compatibility: Verify your frame has sufficient routing points for the 3.2-meter hose length. Ensure your bike is configured for a left-hand front or rear brake lever.
- Installation: Route the hose through your frame’s cable guides before connecting the lever to the caliper using the provided olives and barbs.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the 5mm pads for wear. Despite the durable design, wipe the calipers down with a dry cloth periodically to remove road grime and debris.
- Bleeding: While the system arrives pre-bled, if you must shorten the hose, you will need the specific Tektro bleed kit to restore pressure.
