Mount the brake lever onto the handlebar. (Tightening torque 4Nm/34 in.lbs)
In the following pictures the wheel is often is often not in place, this is purely to
help show the details better. Mounting a MAGURA brake with the wheels in place
is much simpler, for this reason, if at all possible, do not remove the wheels.
2. Now a few fundamentals.
Please note that the slave cylinders can be adjusted in several positions in the evolution
adaptor brackets before the fitting bolts and quick release are tightened (black arrows).
Loosen the screws to position the slave cylinders, to either move the whole adaptor up
and down (white arrows), or to move them closer to or further away from the rim. The
evolution adaptor offers ample adjustment possibilities which are necessary because rim
and frame dimensions can vary a lot between different bikes.
3. In some cases (e.g. extremely narrow rims) it might be better to change
the adaptors from one side to the other. The MAGURA embossed side (arrow 2)
is interchanged with the Evolution embossed side. The quick release (arrow 3)
must be mounted on the right side (your are standing in front of the brake and
facing it). The quick release lever points up in the closed position.
The black elbows (arrow 1) are adjustable and point preferably downwards
(for better tire clearance!). They MUST ALWAYS block against the fork or frame.
4. Loosen the bolts (allen key 5mm) slightly to adjust the slave cylinder. Remove
the bolts if you have to switch the sides of the evolution adaptor brackets.
5. This is a good time to see how easy it is to change MAGURA brake pads. Simply
click them in!
6. Evolution adaptor details. The black elbow can be adjusted with the toothed
washers (arrows 1) as long as the fitting bolt (2) is not tightened. The elbow points
preferably downwards (for better tyre clearance).
The elbows must always block against the fork or frame. The quick release
(arrow 3) is held into the evolution adaptor bracket so that it cannot get lost. It is always
mounted on the right side (your are standing in front of the brake and facing it).
7. Mount a canti-stud U-washer on both canti-studs, flat side pointing up. Tip: to
prevent losing the washers if the wheel is removed, use silicon glue to semi-permanently
fix them on the studs. Fit left evolution adaptor side on the canti stud by using the 5mm
allen bolt. Black elbow must block against the fork or frame! Position the brake
cylinder in the adaptor bracket so that the pads are parallel to the rim. Distance
rim/pad 2mm. Do not yet fully tighten the bolts. Partially screw the quick release
hourglass bolt (arrow) into the canti-stud (5mm allen key).
