Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge of hydraulic disc brake systems. Ensure you have the correct hydraulic mineral oil or DOT fluid as specified by Sram.
- Mounting: Secure the caliper to the frame or fork mounts using appropriate adapters if necessary.
- Hose Routing: Utilize the stealth design to route the housing cleanly against the handlebar.
- Alignment: Ensure the caliper is centered over your preferred rotor size to avoid rubbing.
- Bleeding: The system must be bled using a Sram hydraulic brake bleed kit to remove air bubbles after shortening the hose to the desired length.
- Care: Clean the rotor and pads with isopropyl alcohol if you notice any contamination. Inspect the brake pads regularly for wear, and replace them once the friction material is reduced to less than 1mm.
