Commencal FCB - Disc Brakes

SET-UP
DISC BRAKES
To align the caliper to the
disc, unscrew the two bolts by
half a turn so it is fairly loose.
Turn the wheel and press the
corresponding brake lever.
You must break in your pads before
achieving good performance from
the brake. youmust actuate your
brakes 20 to 30 times to slow down
from 30 km/h to 5 km/h to break
in your pads sufciently. Brake as hard as
possible without stopping the wheel. It is
normal to have friction between the disc
and the pads before the system has been
fully broken in.
The left brake lever operates the front brake.
The right brake lever operates the rear brake.
Incase of doubt, check which caliper is
connected to which lever (exception: UK,
Australia, New Zealand and Japan use an
opposite brake conguration).
Whilst holding the brake lever,
tighten the caliper bolts.
Check that your wheel turns
without causing any rubbing
(or very little). However,
repeat the process if it is not
satisfactory.
You can adjust the reach of the brake lever.
Simply turn the ne adjuster found on the
brake lever. This can also be in the
form of an allen key bolt.
For any maintenance, adjustment, replacement
of brake discs or brake pads etc. Please refer
to the corresponding manufacturer’s website.
Wet con-
ditions can
increase
breaking
distance.
