5. Remove the cotter the brake pad fitting screw with a 2mm Allen key.
6. Pull out the brake pads. Their „ears" make this very easy. Clean the pads
with a dry rag that is free of oil and grease.
Never squeeze the lever blade without the brake pads in place and the wheel
mounted. If this happened by accident push back the pistons with
mounted brake pads by using the transport device or a flat blade screwdriver.
Use only genuine MAGURA brake pads. MAGURA cannot guarantee a correct fun-
ction of the brake if you use brake pads from other manufacturers, which were not
tested. Using other pads might cause poor braking and cause serious injury! All war-
ranty claims will be void in case of misuse!
7. Clean on the occasion of the brake pad change, the brake body with a clean rag.
Make sure that the friction side of the new brake pads points towards the rotor.
8. Secure the new pads with the fitting screw, a new one is delivered with the new
pads. Tightening torque: 1 Nm/ 9 in.lbs. Check the correct fitting of the pads by pul-
ling them. The fitting bolt of the pads has to be correctly installed e.g. it has to go
through the drills of the pad holders and then correctly screwed into the caliper.
9. Re-install the wheel and check for a correctly tightened quick release skewer of the
wheel.
10. Squeeze the lever blade several times (pump) to push the pads to their proper posi-
tion until the lever feel becomes very firm.
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.
Never contaminate brake pads with oil or grease this causing permanent loss of
brake power! Such contaminated pads can no longer be used and should be replaced!
