Troubleshooting

Brake pads are rubbing against the tire

Adjust the vertical position of the pads within the mounting slots and ensure they are centered on the rim braking surface.

Soft or mushy lever feel

Check for housing slack, ensure the cable is properly tensioned, and verify that the brake arms are not flexing excessively due to loose mounting bolts.

Brakes are off-center

Use the centering adjustment screw located on the brake pivot to align the arms until both pads contact the rim simultaneously.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction at approximately 180g per wheel
  • Easy wheel removal with integrated quick-release
  • Adjustable pads allow for a customized fit to different rims
  • Durable aluminum build quality

Cons

  • Limited to a 39-52 mm reach range
  • Not intended for extreme racing or disc brake-specific frames
  • Requires specific tool knowledge for initial setup

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard cycling tools, including a set of metric Allen keys. Ensure the brake bolt is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications on the fork or frame mount. The reach range of 39-52 mm must align with your bicycle's mounting holes and rim position; if the pads sit too high or too low, braking efficiency will be compromised. Regularly check the pad wear and clean the braking surface of your rims with isopropyl alcohol to maintain stopping power and prevent debris buildup. For the quick-release lever, keep it free of grit to ensure smooth operation during wheel changes.
