FAQs

What is the purpose of the Shimano Disc Pad Spacer?

The spacer prevents the brake pads from touching each other when the wheel is removed, protecting them from damage and ensuring the brake system functions correctly.

How do I install the spacer?

Remove the wheel, insert the spacer between the brake pads, and ensure it's securely in place.

How do I remove the spacer?

Simply pull the spacer out from between the brake pads before reinstalling the wheel.

Can I use this spacer with any disc brake system?

No, this spacer is designed specifically for a range of Shimano hydraulic disc brake models, including BR-M447, BR-M446, BR-M445, BR-M4050, BR-M395, BR-M355, BR-M3050, BR-T675, and BR-T615.

What happens if I forget to remove the spacer?

If you forget to remove the spacer, the brake pads will likely touch the rotor, causing the brakes to rub and potentially damage the pads and rotor, and making the wheel difficult to turn.

Is the spacer reusable?

Yes, the spacer is designed for repeated use. Ensure it's clean and undamaged before each use.

Where can I buy a replacement spacer?

Replacement spacers are available at most bike shops and online retailers specializing in bicycle components.

Troubleshooting

Brake pads touch after wheel reinstallation.

Ensure the spacer was removed before reinstalling the wheel. If the pads still touch, the brake system may need to be realigned or bled. Consult a professional.
