PAD WEAR ADJUSTMENT
(BB7 ONLY)
Over time, you will need to compensate for brake pad wear.
You can do so with two very simple adjustments:
Turn both the inboard and outboard red adjusting knobs
clockwise one or two clicks as needed to restore your brake to
optimum settings. DO NOT use your barrel adjuster to
compensate for pad wear.
A pad wear indicator is at the center of each knob. As the
knob is turned in, the indicator will retract deeper into the
knob giving a visual indication of approximately how much
the pads have worn.
A pad should be replaced when its total thickness (backing
plate & friction material) is less than 3mm. Instructions will be
included with your new pads.
PAD WEAR ADJUSTMENT
(BB5 ONLY)
Over time, you will need to compensate for brake pad wear.
You can do so with two very simple adjustments:
1. Unscrew (counterclockwise) the barrel adjuster on the
caliper.
2. Turn the inboard pad adjustment knob clockwise.
Both of these adjustments move the brake pads closer to
the rotor. You do need to adjust both pads as they wear.
Try different settings until the brake feels just the way
you like.
NOTE: While you can perform a similar adjustment on the
barrel of your brake lever, we suggest that you adjust for
pad wear at the caliper. That way you leave the brake lever
for on-the-fly adjustments.
