This model is exclusively designed for frames with seatstay direct mount points. Verify your frame specifications before purchase.
The BR-R8110-RS is compatible with tires up to 28C in width.
Yes, this caliper uses cartridge-style brake shoes, allowing you to replace the pad inserts without removing the entire shoe assembly.
Direct mount calipers provide improved stiffness, better aerodynamic integration, and increased tire clearance for specific frames.
The unit includes standard hardware required for mounting to a direct-mount compatible frame, though frame-specific bolts may vary.
Adjust the centering screw on the caliper body or re-align the brake pads using the convex washers.
Check the cable housing for tight bends or fraying and ensure the housing is fully seated in the cable stop.
Clean the rim surface with isopropyl alcohol and verify the toe-in alignment of the brake pads.
Installation of the BR-R8110-RS requires a frame that specifically utilizes the seatstay direct mount standard. Ensure the mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings to prevent damage to the frame or brake assembly. When setting up the cable housing, keep the loops as clean and unobstructed as possible to leverage the low-profile cable stop. Periodic maintenance involves checking the pad wear via the cartridge inserts and ensuring the dual-pivot linkage is free of debris. Use a dry lubricant on the pivot points sparingly to maintain smooth operation, and wipe down the calipers with a soft cloth after rides in wet or dusty conditions to preserve the finish.
