Replacing the Brake Pads
In the event that the brake lever can be depressed to make contact with the handlebar grip, and the barrel adjusters
on the lever and the stationary pads are turned clockwise completely, the brake pads will need to be replaced.
To replace the brake pads:
1. Remove the wheel.
2. Turn out the stationary pad adjuster until it is flush with the surface ‘B’ and turn out the brake lever
adjuster.
3. Unscrew the two M6 bolts using an Allen key wrench to hold the M6 bolts (front brake only) stationary.
4. Remove the stationary brake pad and replace it with a new pad.
5. Using gloves or a cloth to protect your fingers from being cut on the disk rotor, pull the disk rotor away
from the moving pad and calliper.
6. Using needle nose pliers, grab the tap of the moving brake pad and pull it out from the calliper housing.
7. While holding the disk rotor away from the calliper housing, insert a new brake pad into the moving
calliper side.
8. Replace the stationary brake calliper and tighten the 2 M6 bolts to 6-8Nm torque. Hold the 2 M6 captive
nuts (front fork only) while tightening.
9. Go to initial setup to adjust pads.
Note:
Over time and in some cases the brake cables can become stretched to the point that even with new
brake pads, the braking performance is unsafe.
In the event that more than 8mm of length of dimension ‘B’ is required to prevent the brake lever
from touching the handlebar grip, you will require a ‘Brake Barrel Extender’ KKL ID 124. This part
can be obtained directly from Karbon Kinetics Limited.
To install the brake barrel extender, turn the brake lever barrel in all the way.
Ensure that the fixed outer brake pad adjuster is turned out all the way.
Pull the brake housing (black cable) out of the lever barrel adjuster and insert the brake barrel extender.
Proceed to section 9.6 for initial brake setup.
WARNING! If the brake levers can be pulled to the point of touching the handlebar grip, do not ride
the Gocycle. The brakes are not safe and will require adjustment as outlined in section 9.6.
