FAQs
What type of brake fluid should I use?
Use only mineral oil, as specified by Shimano.
How do I adjust the lever reach?
Use the reach adjustment screw on the lever body to move the lever closer or further away from the handlebar.
How often should I bleed the brakes?
Bleed the brakes when you notice a spongy feel or loss of braking power. Regular bleeding (e.g., once or twice a year, or more frequently if used heavily) is recommended.
Can I use this lever with any brake caliper?
It is designed to work with Shimano hydraulic disc brake calipers using mineral oil. Ensure that the caliper is also compatible with your frame and wheel setup.
What is I-SPEC EV?
I-SPEC EV is a mounting system that allows you to integrate your shift lever and brake lever onto one clamp. This provides more adjustability and a cleaner handlebar setup.
How do I clean the brake lever?
Wipe the lever with a damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
Where can I find replacement parts?
Replacement parts, such as lever blades, can be found at your local bike shop or online retailers that sell Shimano components.
Troubleshooting

Bleed the brake system to remove air bubbles.
Brakes lack power.
Check brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Inspect for any oil leaks and repair.
