FAQs

What type of brake fluid does the Sync-2E use?

The Sync-2E brake system is designed to use mineral oil. Always use the specific type recommended by Clarks to avoid damage to the seals.

How often should I bleed my brakes?

Brake bleeding is typically recommended annually or when the brake lever feels spongy. It's also advisable after any maintenance that involves opening the hydraulic system.

Can I use rotors other than the ones supplied?

While it might be possible, it is recommended to use the supplied aerospace-grade aluminium floating rotors for optimal performance and compatibility with the caliper's heat dissipation design.

How do I adjust the lever reach?

There is usually a small screw or dial on the brake lever assembly. Turn this screw/dial to move the lever closer to or further from the handlebar, adjusting the reach to your preference.

What maintenance is required for the self-adjusting pistons?

The self-adjusting pistons require minimal maintenance. Ensure the caliper area remains clean. If you notice increased friction or uneven piston movement, they may require cleaning and light lubrication with specific brake component grease.

Is the motor shut-off compatible with all e-bike systems?

The motor shut-off is designed for integration with e-bike electrical systems. Compatibility should be verified with your specific e-bike manufacturer or supplier to ensure proper function.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel spongy or lack stopping power

The brake system may need bleeding to remove air bubbles. Check for leaks in the hydraulic lines or seals. Ensure brake pads are properly seated and have sufficient material.

Rotor is rubbing against the brake pads

Loosen the caliper mounting bolts slightly, squeeze the brake lever firmly, and re-tighten the bolts while holding the lever. Ensure the rotor is not warped and the wheel is properly seated.

Brake lever is stiff or difficult to pull

Check for kinks or obstructions in the hydraulic line. Ensure the lever pivot is clean and lubricated. If the issue persists, the caliper pistons may require cleaning or servicing.

Motor shut-off is not engaging

Verify the electrical connections for the motor shut-off are secure and correctly wired to the e-bike's system. Check for any damage to the switch mechanism on the lever.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides powerful and modulated braking crucial for e-bikes.
  • Integrated motor shut-off enhances rider safety.
  • Low maintenance due to self-adjusting pistons.
  • Customizable lever reach for improved comfort and control.
  • Durable construction with aerospace-grade components.

Cons

  • Initial setup may require careful adjustment for optimal performance.
  • Specific compatibility with e-bike motor systems needs verification.
  • Floating rotors might require specific installation knowledge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Attach the calipers to the frame and fork at the designated mounting points. Ensure correct alignment with the rotor.
  2. Rotor Installation: Secure the floating rotors to the wheel hubs. Follow the manufacturer's torque specifications.
  3. Lever and Cable Connection: Mount the brake levers onto the handlebars. Connect the hydraulic lines to the levers and calipers, ensuring a secure and leak-free fit.
  4. Bledding: Bleed the brake system to remove any air bubbles and ensure optimal hydraulic pressure. Refer to the specific bleeding procedure for this model.
  5. Adjustment: Adjust the lever reach for rider comfort. Fine-tune caliper alignment to ensure the rotor does not rub.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for e-bikes with compatible frame and fork mounts (e.g., Post Mount).
  • Requires compatible wheel hubs for rotor installation.
  • The motor shut-off feature requires compatibility with the e-bike's electrical system.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the rotors, calipers, and levers with a clean cloth and water. Avoid using harsh solvents.
  • Pad Inspection: Periodically check brake pad wear. Replace pads when worn down to the wear indicator.
  • Brake Fluid: Check brake fluid levels periodically and top up or replace as per manufacturer recommendations. Use the specified type of brake fluid.
  • Rotor Condition: Keep rotors clean and free from oil or grease. Inspect for any damage or warping.
