TEKTRO BRAKES

INSTALLATION & ADJUSTMENT OF YOUR BRAKES
The Caliper and rotor for the front and rear of the bike are the same. The only difference between front and rear disc brakes is which adapter should be used to mount the
caliper to the bike. The adapter for the front fork is marked with an "F" and is designed to fit forks with international standard disc brake mounts. The rear adapter is
marked with an "R" and is designed to fit international mounts .The adapters for front and rear may be marked with "F.../R...", if so, check the brake rotor for diameter
(160) to determine front or rear adapter.
Mounting the Rotor to the Hub
1. Remove the wheel from the bike.
2. Attach the rotor to the hub with the supplied Allen bolts and tighten with Allen wrench.
3. Install the wheel onto the bike.
Note: The rotor must be installed with the "rotation" arrows pointing in the same direction as the forward rotation of the wheel.
Mounting the Adapter and Caliper
Note: Although front and rear caliper bodies are the same design, the adapter for the front is marked with an "F" and the adapter for the rear is marked with an "R".
1. Mount the relevant adapter to the caliper body. Insert 5mm bolts through the two adapter slots on the body and screw into the holes on the adapter. DO NOT TIGHTEN
YET.
2. Mount the caliper body and adapter to the frame/fork by placing the slot in the caliper body over the rotor. The mounting holes on the adapter should be behind the
frame/fork mounting holes (the hub side). Screw and tighten 5mm Allen bolts into the upper and lower holes in the frame/fork mount.
3. Check that the rotor is concerted between the disc brake pads and tighten the two bolts holding the caliper to the adapter. To re-adjust the caliper positioning, loosen
these two bolts and slide the caliper over until it is centered on the rotor and then re-tighten the bolts.
4. Attach the cable and housing to the brake lever. Route the cable along the frame/fork of the bike. Insert the cable through the cable adjuster barrel on the caliper
5. Making sure that the cable housing is firmly sealed within the cable adjuster barrel, insert the end of the cable through anchor bolt on the caliper. Take up slack in the
cable, then tighten cable anchor bolt.
6. Be sure no more 20mm excess cable beyond anchor bolt.
Adjusting the Pads and Caliper
Note: When your pads are worn, make sure to adjust both clearances between rotor and pad to be equal to 0.3mm. Adjusting only one side will cause braking failure.
1. Use 5mm Allen wrench to adjust the stationary caliper adjusting bolt at the back (hub) side of caliper (reach for the bolt with Allen wrench through space between
spokes).
