Cable activated disc brake kit

Designed to equip your bike with cable disc brakes.

What tools will you need?

When carrying out this task, you may need: A brake pad spacer, brake cleaner, and a microfibre cloth.

To be able to brake effectively on your bike, it's crucial to bed-in your brakes.

The aim of bedding-in is to gently heat up the brake pads and discs so that they come into contact over an effective surface area.Before starting, clean the discs, replace them if necessary, and make sure you have the right gear:Helmet, cycle computer or GPS.Perform the process on a flat, dry, clear road.

The bedding-in process means applying the brakes gradually over a series of intervals, increasing your speed at each interval.

For the bedding-in process to work properly, you need to alternate the brakes properly and follow the set speed intervals with precision:apply the brakes gradually ten times to slow from 15 to 5 km/h, then do this again at 20 and 25 km/h. It's important to ride a short distance without braking between each interval to let the disc and caliper cool down properly.

A few extra tips for bedding-in your disc brakes:

To avoid damaging your brakes during the bedding-in process, use only one brake at a time, and avoid abrupt braking.Pick flat ground for more comfort.Bedding in can take up to 30 minutes, so be patient.If the brakes feel less effective or you see traces of colour on the discs, it's a sign that your brake pads are glazed.In that case, go ahead and consult one of our xperts at the Decathlon workshop.
