4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your new brake pads:

1. Remove the Old Brake Pad: Carefully remove the worn brake pads from your bike's calipers.
2. Press Back the Pistons: Use an appropriate tool to gently push the caliper pistons back into their housing. Ensure they are fully retracted to make space for the new pads. Avoid prying forcefully.
3. Install New Brake Pads: Insert the new BUCKLOS ceramic brake pads into the calipers. Ensure they are seated correctly. Install any adjustment pads and bend the cotter pin to secure them.
4. Adjust Brake Gap and Test: Adjust the brake caliper to ensure proper alignment and clearance with the rotor. Test the braking performance at a low speed in a safe area before riding.

5. Operating Instructions

After installation, it is crucial to properly bed-in your new brake pads. This process ensures optimal braking performance and longevity:

• Perform approximately 10-20 moderate stops from a speed of about 15-20 mph (25-30 km/h) without coming to a complete stop.
• Allow the brakes to cool down between stops.
• Follow with 5-10 harder stops from a higher speed (e.g., 20-25 mph or 30-40 km/h) to a near stop.
• Avoid dragging the brakes for extended periods during the bedding-in process, as this can glaze the pads.

These ceramic pads are suitable for various cycling conditions, including dry, humid, and harsh weather, and are compatible with:

• Mountain Bikes
• Commute Bikes
• Fat Bikes
• Electric Bikes (E-Bikes)
• Road Bikes
• Scooters

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your brake pads:

• Inspect Regularly: Check your brake pads periodically for wear. Replace them when the pad material is thin (typically less than 1mm).
• Keep Clean: Avoid contaminating pads and rotors with oil, grease, or cleaning agents, as this can severely reduce braking power and cause noise.
• Check for Glazing: If pads become glazed (appear shiny and hard), they may lose effectiveness. Lightly sanding the surface can sometimes restore performance, but replacement is often recommended.
• Rotor Condition: Ensure your brake rotors are clean and free from damage. A worn or damaged rotor can accelerate pad wear and reduce braking efficiency.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Brakes Cannot Be Locked or Make Sharp Noise: If your brakes cannot be locked in time or produce a sharp noise, new brake pads and rotors should be inspected and potentially replaced. This often indicates significant wear or contamination.
• Brake Pads Too Thick for Installation: If new brake pads are too thick to fit into the caliper, you can recalibrate the brake caliper or gently sand the brake pad surface a little to reduce its thickness. Ensure even sanding to maintain consistent braking.
• Reduced Stopping Power: This can be caused by contaminated pads/rotors, improper bedding-in, or excessive wear. Clean components, re-bed pads, or replace if worn.
