Now it's time to set the pad contact point exactly where
it feels best for your hand. Experiment by using a 2.5mm
hex wrench to turn the red adjuster both ways, to see what
different settings feel like. Then, chose the spot that you
prefer. You can change the setting whenever you want.
Tip: Your RockShox rebound adjuster is a 2.5mm hex
wrench.

Use the Speed Dial pad engagement knob to adjust the
engagement point exactly where you want it. Turning the
knob towards the stem increases the amount of lever travel
necessary for the pads to contact the rotor. Experiment and
see what the different settings feel like. The goal is for your
brake pads to engage right where your grip on the lever feels
the strongest.

Pad rePlaCeMent
1. PUSh the PiStonS BaCk in
As the Juicy calipers are self-adjusting, the pistons need to be pushed back into the
body to their original position before the new pads can be installed. The safest way to
do this is with the old pads still in the caliper to protect the pistons. Place a flat-blade
screwdriver between the old pads, then carefully rock it back and forth, pushing the
pistons back into their bores.
2. reMove the old PadS
Grab one of the pad tabs and slide the pad toward the center of the caliper (this
disengages the pad backing plate from the post in the center of the piston), then
pull the pad straight out. Repeat for the other pad. Note: The spreader clip that
sits in between the pads may not come out with the second pad. If not, push
it out from the open top of the caliper with your little finger.
3. inStall the new PadS and SPreader
Be sure the spreader clip is oriented to the pads as shown
below. Squeeze the pad and clip assembly together, then
insert into the caliper as a unit. Firmly push until the
assembly "clicks" into place.
Tip: To ease intallation, hold your thumb over the pad retainer
clip on the open top of the caliper while inserting the new pad
and spreader.
hydraUliC diSC Brake hoSe length adJUStMent and Bleeding
Avid Hydraulic Disc Brakes come with hoses already attached in an "average" length. The system has already been bled,
so if you don't need to change the hose length, then you are ready to ride.
If however, you do need to change hose lengths, you will need an Avid Bleed Kit or we recommend you have a professional
bicycle mechanic perform the service for you. Avid Bleed Kits provide complete instructions and Avid tools for adjusting the
hose length as well as bleeding the brake system. The instructions are also available online at www.sram.com or
www.avidbike.com.
