Adjusng the Disc Brake
Important! Dierent types of disc brakes may require specic
adjustments not covered in this secon. If you are unsure of
what needs to be done see a qualied bicycle mechanic.
Misalignment of the disc brake may be due to the following:
• The wheel is not centered.
• The caliper body is misaligned.
• The brake pads are not centered.
Center the Wheel
❶ Rotate the wheel and look at the gap between the rim and
fork. If the gap is uneven, loosen the axle nuts and adjust
unl the wheel and disc rotor are centered. Figure 4.16
Realign the Caliper Body
❶ Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, loosen the two centering
adjustment screws. Adjust the caliper body unl the gap
between the disc rotor and the brake pads in the caliper body
is even (1/32" per side). Figure 4.17
❷ Tighten the centering adjustment screws.
• Disc brakes are sharp, keep ngers away from the brake
caliper and rotor. If ngers contact the disc brake while the
wheel is turning serious injury may occur.
