GreenSpeed GT3 - fitting disc brake calipers

Disc wheels will then need
the calipers installed.
Start with the forward most
screw (fig 6a) and fit one
washers under the screw
head and the other washer
(and any spacers) on the
caliper side of the mount (fig
6b).
Leave this screw loose so it
is easier to put the second
screw in with its washers (fig
6c), and tighten up both of
the bolts.
Your pads are self adjusting,
so should center themselves
either side of the disc after
use.
However, if when you put
the caliper on, you can see
that the slot for the pads is
obviously out of alignment
you may need to see a
dealer for new spacers.

As the brakes are self-adjusting for pad wear, squeezing the
brake levers with no disc between the pads will result in the pads
coming together and the disc
rotor will no longer fit. A flat
blade screwdriver will then be
required to separate them for
installation. If the pads are
quite worn, you chance push-
ing one of the pistons from
the caliper! We suggest you
keep the transporting spacers
that came with your trike and
use them between the pads
when transporting if you plan
to remove the wheels.
Note: Care needs to be taken with hydaulic disc brakes in
general in regards to transporting with the wheels/calipers
removed. Cable discs do not need this.
When removing and refitting your hollow axle wheels at a later
point, the caliper can stay in place. In this scenario, to take off
the wheel, simply take out your axle pre-load bolt and loosen the
clamp screw and slide the axle out first, then drop your wheel,
and therefore disc brake rotor, down out of the caliper. To put it
back on, make sure the clamp is undone, offer the wheel up and
insert the disc rotor into the caliper taking care to not dislodge
the brake pads. Insert the axle from the outside of the hub and
straight through into the kingpin. Insert and tighten the bolts as
instructed above in ‘fitting your wheels - disc brake with hollow
axles’.
