INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR

WARNING - to avoid serious injuries

▪ Improper use of your bicycle’s brake system may result in a loss of control or

an accident, which could lead to a severe injury. Because each bicycle may

handle differently, be sure to learn the proper braking technique (including

brake lever pressure and bicycle control characteristics) for your bicycle.

Consult your bicycle dealer and the bicycle’s owners manual, and practice

your riding and braking technique.

▪ Securely tighten the caliper brake mounting bolts to the specified tightening

torque.

▪ Brakes designed for use as rear brakes should not be used as front brakes

and vice versa.

▪ Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the

brakes. Loose, worn, or damaged parts may cause serious injury.

▪ Be careful not to allow any oil or grease to get onto the brake shoes, if oil or

grease gets on the pads, the pads should be replaced, and the braking

surface of the rims should be cleaned carefully, otherwise the brakes may not

work properly.

▪ Always make sure that the front and rear brakes are working correctly before

you ride the bicycle.

▪ The required braking distance will be longer during wet weather. Reduce

your speed and apply the brakes early and gently.

▪ If the road surface is wet, the tires will skid more easily. If the tires skid, you

may lose control of the bicycle. To avoid this, reduce your speed and apply

the brakes early and gently.

▪ Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe

place for later reference.

NOTE:

▪ If using standard TRP brake pads in combination with ceramic or carbon

fiber rims, the brakes shoes will wear more quickly than normal. Pads

specifically designed for carbon fiber rim surfaces are available from TRP.

▪ If the brake pads have worn down until the grooves are no longer visible,

they should be replaced.

▪ Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from

normal use or crash damage.

•For any questions regarding methods of handing or maintenance, please

contact the original place of purchase.

1.) Clean and grease fork and stay pivot bosses. Install spring system, brake

arm, washer and mounting bolt onto each pivot. Insert spring-base pin into

middle hole of pivot boss. Linear spring should press against linear-spring stops.

Please use appropriate mounting bolts.

2.) With both pads pressed against the wheel rim, ensure that distance-A (in

diagram) does not exceed 31mm or 21mm in linkage version. To inecrease

distance-A, take off inner spacer on each brake pad.

3.) Before finally tightening brake pads, make sure they are aligned correctly

on the rim, and there is a gap of 1mm between the top of the rim and the top

of the pad. Hold each pad against the rim(one at a time) & tighten mounting

nut. Final tightening torque: 6-8Nm.

4.) Insert cable through cable guide pipe and anchor-bolt. Slot cable guide

pipe into holder. Set cable in anchor bolt so that combined pad / rim

clearance (A+B) is 2mm, then tighten anchor bolt. ( If clearance is not 1mm

each side, it will be balanced out in step 5 ). Final tightening torque 6-8Nm.

Crimp end-cap onto cable end.

6.) Readjust pads so they are properly aligned (see Step3), as tension

adjustment will probably have altered original pad alignment.

NOTE

1) Cables pass directly form levers, through housing, to cable guide pipes. Use

90° pipe for either left-lever/front-brake or right-lever/rear-brake.

2) Ensure that brake levers are properly installed.

3) Spring-tension adjusters require a 2mm Allen wrench(see Step5). All other

bolts require a 5mm Allen wrench.

4) Pad / rim clearance can be further adjusted by turning brake-lever adjusting

barrel.

Consult your TRP dealer if you are unsure about installation or adjustment.

CAUTION :

TRP LINEAR PULL BRAKES MUST BE USED WITH LINEAR PULL BRAKE LEVERS. LINEAR

PULL BRAKES OFFER CONSIDERABLE BRAKING POWER WITH LITTLE LEVERAGE

FORCE, AND REQUIRE PRACTICE AT LOW SPEEDS BEFORE NORMAL USE. TEKTRO

IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGE OR INJURY AS A RESULT OF IMPROPER INSTALLATION

OR USE.

5.) Balance brake arms by turning spring-tension adjusters. Depress brake lever

a few times while checking to see that tension is equal for both arms. Pad/rim

contact should occur at the same time each side. Clearance should be 1mm

each side. Do not see tension too high.
