Disk Brakes

If fitted with a front disc brake, the components should already be
attached. However, please check all connections before attempting to ride
the bicycle. Secure tightly the 6 bolts that hold the disc to the front wheel
hub and the 2 bolts that hold the brake mechanism to the fork. Insert the
front rim into the fork dropouts ensuring that the disc fits into the brake
mechanism between the enclosed brake pads. Secure the front rim to the
bicycle by tightening the quick release mechanism and clamping the lever
to the closed position. Please Refer to section 6 for further instruction on
quick release mechanisms.
Next, attach the cable to the brake lever by inserting the cable end into
the cable end into the cable end holder after the barrel adjuster and lock
nut slots have been aligned with the cable end holder. After the cable is
secured to the lever, rotate the barrel adjuster and lock nut so the slots no
longer line up. Ensure the cable housing seats appropriately into the end
of the barrel adjuster and check for any kinks or damage.
Slide the exposed brake cable through the rotating rod located on the
caliper body and seat the housing into the same stop. Insert the cable into
spring and spring boot.
Next, slide the cable through the cable anchor and pull all the slack out.
Secure the cable in place by tightening the bolts that comprise the anchor
assembly. Some disc brakes will have a centering devise while others are
a free-floating mechanism. If your caliper body is equipped with centering
bolts, apply the brake lever after the cable has been connected. While
engaging the lever, tighten the centering bolts securely. This will center the
caliper body on the disc.
DISC GETS HOT! Severe injury could result from contact
with the hot disc! Mind your legs, as well as your hands.

These brakes require breaking in! Ride and use the brakes gently for 13 miles before
using the brakes in downhill conditions, for sudden stops, or any other serious braking.
Please be aware that your brake system will change in performance throughout the
wear-in process. The disc brake should be cleaned before the first ride using rubbing
alcohol. NEVER use oil or similar products to clean your disc brake system.
