Setup, Compatibility & Care
This unit is a dedicated rear brake assembly. Before starting installation, ensure you have the correct size rotor and the appropriate mounting bracket compatible with your bike frame's post-mount standard.
- Secure the lever to the handlebar using the integrated clamp.
- Mount the caliper to the frame, ensuring the pads align correctly with the rotor track.
- Verify your hose length to ensure there is enough slack for a full range of handlebar motion.
For ongoing care, periodically clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol to prevent noise. Inspect your metallic pads after every few muddy rides and replace them before the material reaches the minimum thickness recommended by the manufacturer. If the brake feel becomes 'mushy,' use a SRAM-approved bleed kit to purge air from the DOT fluid lines.
