Disc Brake Pad Advancement Procedure
If your brakes have excessive brake lever throw, it may be a result of the pistons sticking in the caliper. Before bleeding the system, you can try to
loosen the sticky piston by performing the following steps:
Clamp the bicycle into a bicycle work stand and remove the wheel
according to the wheel manufacturer's instructions.
Squeeze the brake lever several times until the brake pads nearly
contact one another.
Insert the pad spreader tool between the brake pads to spread the
pads to the full width of the pad spreader tool.
Remove the pad spreader.
