Tech Tips/Maintenance
TEST THE SYSTEM
With two fingers, squeeze the brake
lever firmly about a dozen times to
ensure the cables are seated prop-
erly and operate smoothly. Make
sure the cable has not slipped at the
cable anchor bolt. Re-torque if nec-
essary.

Crash Replacement
The primary feature that sets these
levers apart is the patented
Speed Dial Adjustable Leverage func-
tion. This design allows you to dial in
whatever feel you want, from a soft
feel (greater modulation) to a firmer
feel, or anywhere in between. This
adjustment can be done without any
tools.
ATTACH CABLE TO BRAKE
Follow the installation instructions
for your specific brake. Refer to
these instructions for torque speci-
fications and brake setup.

Did you know that Avid offers a crash
replacement program? You see, our
lever blades have a Bend Zone
TM
.
This design allows the blade to bend
without damaging the body. So, if you
crash, you can finish your ride, replace
the blade, and get on with your life at a
reasonable price. Contact your local
bike shop for details.

Loose lever blade? Use a 2mm hex
wrench to check the pivot pin set
screw.
1.
If you use lighter spring tension at
the brake, you will use less hand ener-
gy when operating the brake lever.
Lighter spring tension will also keep
the brakes better centered.
2.
To keep your levers creak-free and
operating smoothly, place a drop of
light-weight oil on both sides of the
cable link at the cross dowel.
