10. Replace the cover with the membrane onto the reservoir. Oil will spill during this
procedure therefore do not forget to place a rag around the brake lever. Tighten the
cover screw until the cover is flush with the reservoir. Use only the original Torx T7
bolt. Any other screw will lead to leaks, damages and failure of the whole
system! Tightening torque 0,6Nm/5 in.lbs
11. Remove the syringe and screw in the 3mm allen bleeding screw.
Tightening torque: 2,5Nm/22 in.lbs. Re-position the brake caliper (tightening tor-
que 6Nm/51 in. lbs.). Re-install the brake pads and the wheel.
Always pull the lever blade several times (pump) until the brake pads touch
the rotor.
Always check for correct installation by activating the lever blade and
checking for eventual leaks.
Never contaminate brake pads with oil or grease this causing permanent
loss of brake power! Contaminated pads are definitely dead and must be repla-
ced! A contaminated rotor can be cleaned with warm dishwater or alcohol.
The XC disc brake wheel
There already exists enough literature concerning wheels, so just a few tips how a
well-built X-country disc brake wheel has to be.
Use spokes with a diameter of 2mm (arc)/1,8mm which you cross three times.
No radial lacing with disc brake wheels!
Head-inside-spokes (=arc-outside-spokes have to be pulled, i.e. these spokes point for-
ward on the front wheel; on the back wheel these spokes point forward on the rotor side
and backwards on the drive side. All spokes have to be stressed equally and high.
Never use ultra lightweight quick releases with titanium or aluminum axles
for your wheel sets in combination with a disc brake. You will not be in a positi-
on to realize the necessary tightening torque!
