Hi Black Strida,
I red the manual, but Iād like to know if is there any useful tips to know about brakes settings in addition to the manualā¦
By the way here is the full english content of LT cd, i think is the same for Evo (I did not check it yet): https://copy.com/DvDWTJaYkIHtmBBf
non
If I well understand the new brakes are explained both on file 1 at page 23 and on file 7-2, right?
Thinking for hours about special tips the most important, for my understanding, is:
Be careful with the brakes (safety relevant!) and think better twice what to do
Thank you very much for the link; good to know that somebody saved it for the public!
No, as far I can see is file 1 (manual) regarding the older version (securing hexagon set screw for the outer pad adjuster), which isnāt any longer present at the newer caliper versions.
Same at the (7-2)859 860 Colourful Disc file.
File (7-1)861 862 belongs to the newer caliper version.
Principially thereās not that much difference between old and new version:
The outer āfour-earedā adjusting ring was skipped (shown below),
and the adjusting device wandered to the end of the cable hose.
One of the small securing hex set screws (outer pad side) was also cancelled; thatās not needed with the cable adjuster.
The adjuster is shown at pic 3.3 of the 861 862 file.
Edit: here again the four āearsā of the old version:
Thank you Black Strida, I will check in this days, as soon as the fenders and the rear rack I ordered will arrive, so I will put my Evo on the repair stand and take a better look to brakes, though I canāt completely figure out how a cable setting can adjust only one pad, and not all two padsā¦
Guess youāre thinking too complicated
Itās simple: Because neither the ring nor the cable adjustment does have effect to the inner pad. The inner pad doesnāt move while pulling the brake lever.
Seems the function is intended like that:
Outer pad will touch the rotor first, with increasing force will the disc rotor be bent (!) and pressed against the inner pad.
I believe the gap to the inner pad should be kept as narrow as possibleā¦and warped rotors are not suitable at that kind of brake calipers (Ok - maybe except floating ones)ā¦
