adJUst Pad EngagEMEnt Point
(Elixir cr/cr Mag)
Use the red tapered barrel to adjust the pad engagement point exactly
where you want it. Turning the tapered barrel opposite the direction of the
arrow on the barrel decreases the amount of lever travel necessary for the
pads to contact the rotor, resulting in quicker pad engagement. 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.
Note: The tapered barrel can turn 24 "clicks" or about 2 complete
revolutions.

Pad rEPlacEMEnt
1. rEMovE Pad rEtainEr Bolt
Start by removing the "E" clip on the wheel side of the caliper, then
unscrew the retainer bolt using a 2.5mm hex wrench. Remove the
retainer bolt all the way.
2. PUsh thE Pistons Back in
Elixir 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.
3. rEMovE thE old Pads
Grab the pad tabs and pull straight out.
4. install thE nEw Pads and sPrEadEr
Be sure the spreader clip is oriented to the pads as shown below. Align the hole in the spreader clip with the holes in the
pad tabs. Squeeze the pad and clip assembly together, then insert into the caliper as a unit. Firmly push until the assembly
is seated into place.
5. rE-install Pad rEtainEr Bolt
Replace the pad retainer bolt, tighten to 0.9-1 N•m (8-9.5 in-lb), and replace the "E" clip on the wheel side of the caliper.
