oset MX-10 Mk.1 - Brake System Adjustment and Maintenance; Caliper Alignment and Lever Reach Adjustment

19
The brakes are self adjusng to a point, but correct alignment is vital to get the maximum
performance. The pads must be equidistant from the disc for maximum eciency.
Visually inspect the pads as you spin the wheel. Check that alignment is good and pad to disc
distance is even. If adjustments are needed follow the instrucons below:
• Using an Allen wrench, loosen the calliper mounng bolts, allowing the calliper to
move freely from le to right.
• With the bike raised, slowly spin the wheel before pulling the brake lever. This will allow
the calliper to ‘centre’ on the disc.
• With the lever sll holding the pads ghtly on the disc, re-ghten the calliper bolts.
• If the wheel does not spin freely with the brake released and further adjustment is
required beyond the limits of the built in adjustment, the calliper posion itself can be
adjusted further by the use of spacer washers. In this way, the calliper can be lined up
perfectly.
Loosen calliper. Squeeze lever.
Inspect pads. Adjust lever reach.
The brake levers can be adjusted for ‘reach’. Use a small 2mm Allen key.
Turn an-clockwise to bring the reach closer to the bar (for smaller hands).
