Congratulations!
You have selected the best hydraulic disc brakes your money can buy! This manual contains important information for installing
and setting up and adjusting your new brakes. To ensure that your Avid brakes perform properly, we recommend that you have
them installed by a qualified bicycle mechanic. We also urge you to follow all of our recommendations to help make your riding
experience safe, enjoyable and trouble free.
CPS
First, here is some information to get you started:
Hardware
TRI-ALIGN™ CALIPER POSITIONING SYSTEM™
Avid disc brakes use a unique alignment system called Tri-align Caliper
Positioning System (CPS). These stacks of concave and convex washers allow
the caliper to be perfectly aligned with the rotor, regardless of imperfections in the
mounting tabs on the fork or frame, giving you full, square pad contact.
Pad Break-In
It may take anywhere from 20 to 40 complete stops to break in Avid pads. You
may begin to notice an increase in braking power after the first ride. Brake noise
can occur not only during the break-in period but off and on throughout the life
of the brake pads. Noise is dependent upon factors such as brake setup, rider
weight, riding style, braking style, and riding conditions (i.e. dust, soil, moisture,
and contamination of friction surfaces).
CPS Bolt
CHANGING HOSE LENGTHS & BLEEDING

www.avidbike.com for details.
