Bed-in your disc brakes
New disc brakes require a bed-in (break-in)
process. The process helps ensure consistent
and powerful braking feel, along with the
quietest braking in most riding conditions.
! WARNING: The bed-in process requires you
to perform heavy braking. You must be familiar
with the power and operation of disc brakes.
Braking heavily when not familiar with the power
and operation of disc brakes could cause you to
crash, which could lead to serious injury or death. If
you are unfamiliar with disc brakes, you should have
the bed-in process performed by your bike shop.
1. On a flat surface, while sitting on the saddle,
accelerate the bike to a moderate speed.
2. Then firmly apply the brakes until you are at walking
speed. Repeat approximately twenty times.
3. Accelerate the bike to a faster speed, then
firmly apply the brakes until you are at walking
speed. Repeat approximately ten times.
4. Allow the brakes to cool prior to
any additional riding.
! WARNING: Disc brakes can get hot during
use. Therefore, do NOT touch disc brake rotors,
shoes or calipers directly after stopping.
