Installation Instructions

• Verify right selection of the brake pads at the dealer’s in accordance with the bike type and model year of your bike.
• Replace the brake pads as soon as the braking surface thickness has dropped below 2 mm.
• Protect brake pad surfaces from grease, oil and other chemical substances.
• Clean and degrease the brake wheels prior to installation of new brake pads.
• Replace damaged brake discs that reduce the braking effect and, at the same time, shorten the lifetime of the brake pads.
• Install the brake pads facing their braking surfaces towards the brake disc. Having completed the installation, check correct brake pads assembling and securing.
• Leave the installation of brake pads on a specialized servicing shop if lacking experience.
• Tested by the German Testing Institute TÜV.

It is important to condition new linings after installation to obtain maximum service life and performance. If possible, do not install new brake discs while brake pads conditioning.

Brake rotors should be in the best condition possible. If different brake pads material was previously used, clean brake surface with sandpaper. If you feel that brake disc might be flawed (warped, demolished, the braking area is too worn etc.), you will have to mount new brake disc before brake pads conditioning otherwise you would risk low brake performance.

Make sure that brake pads are not too seized in the brake caliper. Check pistons properly, make sure that they are not stuck and that there is no rust.

Apply slow braking under low speed to create contact area between brake rotor and brake pads. This contact area should have 80-90% extention. DO NOT overload your brakes during conditioning! after several brakings under higher speed allow brakes to cool. Then you can use your brakes normally.
