FAQs
What type of brake fluid should I use?
Only use DOT 5.1 brake fluid. Using other fluids can damage the brake system.
How often should I bleed my brakes?
Bleed your brakes when you experience spongy lever feel or loss of braking power, or at least once a year.
How do I adjust the lever reach?
Use a 2mm Allen key to adjust the lever reach. Turn the screw to move the lever closer or further away from the handlebars.
How do I know if my brake pads need replacing?
Inspect the brake pads regularly. Replace them when the pad material is worn down close to the backing plate.
What is the hose length?
The front hose length is 950mm and the rear is 1800mm.
Are rotors and brackets included?
No, rotors and brackets are sold separately.
What kind of pads does this brake use?
This brake uses steel-backed organic pads.
What is the approximate weight?
The approximate weight is 430g (direct mount, 800mm hose, 160mm CL rotor).
Troubleshooting
Brakes feel spongy or have excessive lever travel.
This usually indicates air in the brake lines. Bleed the brakes to remove air bubbles.
Brakes are rubbing or dragging.
Check if the caliper is properly aligned with the rotor. If misaligned, loosen the caliper bolts, squeeze the brake lever, and tighten the bolts while the lever is engaged.
Brakes lack power or feel weak.
Inspect the brake pads for wear or contamination. Clean or replace the pads if necessary.
Levers feel sticky or unresponsive.
Inspect and clean or replace the brake lever.
