Install the wheel by positioning the rotor between the brake pads and fixing the wheel
in the dropouts. Close the quick release of your wheel which you should mount on the
opposite side of the brake caliper and tighten it sufficiently. As to thru-axle hubs or
wheels consult the manual of the respective fork manufacturer.
Squeeze the lever blade several times (pump) to push the pads to their proper position
until the lever feel becomes very firm.
Do not worry when you hear friction between rotor and pads. A slight drag is
normal on disc brakes with automatic pad wear adjustment during the break-in peri-
od. This drag will disappear after a while. The reason for this is that the brake pads
find their optimum working position towards the rotor, only after a slight wear duri-
ng the break-in period. Slight drag might also happen after a brake pad change or in
case of an incorrectly installed wheel.
In the case of a constantly dragging disc brake causing noise your frame or fork
could be miss-aligned. In such a case you should contact your dealer who can care to this
with the MAGURA Gnann-o-mat disc optimizer for a totally even surface of the disc brake
mounts. These are absolutely necessary for a drag free function of your brake.
New brakes and/or new rotors or brake pads must always be run in by
braking at least 30 times from a speed of 30 km/h to achieve the maximum brake
power. Take your bike to a safe place to run in the brake.
Reach adjust is done with a 2,5 mm Allen key. Turning key clockwise: lever
blade moves away from the handlebar, turning counterclockwise: blade moves to the hand-
lebar.
