Product Information
Full details
The UNIOR 2-in-1 Disc Brake Tool is for cyclists who perform their own bicycle maintenance, offering a dual-function solution for common disc brake adjustments. Its primary benefit is the efficient spreading of brake pads and straightening of rotors in a single, compact tool. A potential caveat is that while it's robust, improper use could lead to damage on very delicate components.

FAQs
What material is the UNIOR 2-in-1 Disc Brake Tool made of?
The tool is constructed from premium flex plus carbon steel and features a chrome-plated surface finish.
Can this tool be used for bleeding disc brakes?
No, this tool is designed for spreading brake pads and truing rotors only. It is not used for the brake bleeding process.
How do I use the rotor truing function?
Identify the area of the rotor that is rubbing or bent. Carefully insert the slot of the tool onto the edge of the rotor at the bend, and apply gentle leverage to adjust the rotor's alignment. Make small adjustments and check frequently.
Is this tool suitable for carbon rotors?
The tool is designed for standard metal disc brake rotors. Use with caution on carbon rotors, as excessive force could cause damage. Always refer to the rotor manufacturer's guidelines.
How does the pad spreader work?
The conically shaped tip is designed to be inserted between the two brake pads inside the caliper. Gently pushing the tool deeper spreads the pads apart, retracting the hydraulic pistons back into the caliper body.
Is this tool heavy or bulky?
No, the UNIOR 2-in-1 Disc Brake Tool is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it convenient for carrying on rides or storing in a tool bag.
Troubleshooting
Brake pads are difficult to spread
Ensure the tool is inserted fully between the pads. If pistons are heavily retracted, you may need to push them back further using a dedicated piston press or carefully using the tool's spreader.
Rotor is still rubbing after truing
Make very small, incremental adjustments when truing the rotor. Check that the wheel is properly seated in the dropouts and that the brake caliper is aligned correctly over the rotor.
Tool feels stiff or sticky
Clean the tool thoroughly and ensure there is no debris caught in the slot or around the spreader tip. A light application of bicycle-specific lubricant may help, but use sparingly.
