WE STRIVE FOR PERFECT, ALTHOUGH IT ’S NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE, WE NEVER LEAVE A RIDER BEHIND.
CONSIDERATIONS
The brake is now properly adjusted and ready to test
ride. Here are some other considerations that may come
into play during this process:
BRAKE PAD WEAR
As the pads wear, you will need to make further
adjustments to keep the lever feel consistent. Tighten
the pad adjusters to bring the pads closer to the rotor.
Move the adjusters evenly in small increments and test
at the lever.
Calipers with a single pad adjuster will need to reset the
caliper position from scratch as the pads wear
— refer to STEP 1.
Do not use the barrel adjuster to move the pads inward as they wear. This
will eventually move the lever arm to a position where it is contacting
another part of the caliper, preventing the pads from contacting the rotor.
The barrel adjusters should only be used to take out cable slack as the cable
and housing system settle in.
ON THIS CALIPER, THE BARREL ADJUSTER WAS USED TO COMPENSATE FOR
WORN BRAKE PADS. AS A RESULT, WHEN THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED THE LEVER
ARM CONTACTS THE CALIPER BODY BEFORE THE PADS MEET THE ROTOR,
RESULTING IN *NO BRAKES
