Step-by-step

  1. Check pad wear

    Inspect pads through the caliper window. Replace if under 2 mm.

  2. Adjust cable tension

    Turn the barrel adjuster until the lever has firm bite without dragging.

  3. Align the caliper

    Loosen mounting bolts, squeeze the lever, and retighten to center pads on the rotor.

  4. Test ride

    Roll forward and apply brakes at low speed before full-speed stops.

Most disc brakes need cable tension adjustment and pad alignment. Hydraulic systems require bleed kits — start with cable slack and rotor clearance checks.
