Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This brake pad is designed as a standard pad for Shimano brake systems. Ensure your road bike's brake calipers are compatible with Shimano-style brake shoes before installation.
Setup:
- Remove the old brake pad from the brake caliper.
- Insert the new Ashima Ultralight Road Brake Shoe/Pad into the caliper holder.
- Ensure the pad is seated correctly and aligned with the wheel rim.
- Adjust brake cable tension if necessary and check for proper lever feel.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear. Replace them when the wear indicator line is reached or if the surface appears glazed or damaged.
- Clean the brake track on the wheel rim periodically to remove dirt and debris that can affect braking performance.
- After riding in wet or muddy conditions, it is advisable to rinse the brake pads and rims with water to remove abrasive material.
