Brake Pad Installation:

Here are some helpful PDL.Bike tips to maintain optimal brake performance:

1. Avoid touching the pad or rotor surfaces with oily hands, as this can reduce braking effectiveness.
2. When replacing brake pads, use the old ones to push the pistons back into the caliper, protecting them from damage.
3. Don't forget to replace the pad retention pin and e-clip to ensure the pads stay securely in place.
4. Perform a piston advance according to SRAM's guidelines for optimal lever feel, as detailed in our MTB Disc Brakes and Shifters User Manual.
5. Brake bed-in is crucial for new brake systems, pads, and rotors. Skipping this step can lead to poor performance and noise, so be sure to follow the process carefully for the best results.
