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

ﬁ

rst 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

Changing hose lengths and bleeding Avid disc brakes requires the Avid Bleed Kit

(refer to the hose and bleed section on page 11.) Please contact your local bike shop or

www.avidbike.com

for details.

SAFETY INFORMATION

CODE Installation & Setup Guide

English

Brakes are a safety-critical item on a bicycle. Improper setup

or use of brakes can result in loss of control or an accident,

leading to a severe injury.

Avid brakes are a performance product that offer increased

stopping power over brakes that you may be use to. This

greater power requires less effort to lock-up a wheel when

braking. A wheel lockup might cause you to lose control and

possibly cause injury.

It’s your responsibility to learn and understand proper

braking techniques. Consult the owner’s manual for your

bicycle and a professional bike dealer.

Practice your riding and braking techniques on a

ﬂ

at and

level surface prior to aggressive riding.

The effectiveness of braking is dependent on many

conditions over which SRAM has no control. These include

the speed of the bicycle, type and condition of riding surface,

braking lever force, proper installation and maintenance

of brakes, brake lines, hydraulic

ﬂ

uid, levers, brake pads,

condition of the bike, weight of the rider, proper braking

techniques, weather, terrain, and a variety of other factors.

Avid brakes and levers are not intended for use on any

motorized bicycle or vehicle. Such use could result in a

serious personal injury.

ALWAYS RIDE UNDER CONTROL

Remember, it takes longer to stop in wet conditions. To

reduce the possibility of an accident and minimize trail

erosion, you should avoid locking-up your wheels.

Avid disc brakes are designed as a system. Do not use

components from a manufacturer other than Avid within

the system.

Avid disc brake rotors are compatible with 44mm, 6-bolt

international standard disc hubs.

We recommend 32 or 36-spoke wheels with a 3 or 4

cross spoke lacing pattern. Contact your speciﬁc wheel

manufacturer for more speciﬁcations.

DO NOT USE RADIALLY SPOKED WHEELS.

USE ONLY DOT 4 OR DOT 5.1 FLUIDS WITH

AVID DISC BRAKES.

Do not use a

ﬂ

uid other than the DOT

ﬂ

uids suggested.

Doing so will damage the system and make the brakes

unsafe to use.

DOT

ﬂ

uids will damage painted surfaces. If any

ﬂ

uid

comes in contact with a painted surface (i.e. your frame),

wipe it off immediately and clean with isopropyl alcohol.

Do not allow any brake

ﬂ

uid to come in contact with

the brake rotors. If this occurs, clean the rotors with

isopropyl alcohol.

Do not allow any brake

ﬂ

uid to come in contact

with the brake pads. If this occurs, the pads are

contaminated and must be replaced.

Mount the rotor to the hub using the supplied T-25 TORX® bolts and tighten to the

speciﬁed torque. Avid logo MUST face out. Install the wheel into the fork or frame.

1/8th to 1/4th turn

Do not touch the braking surface of any rotor with your bare

hands, because the oils from your

ﬁ

ngers will degrade its

performance. Always wear gloves, or handle the rotor by

its spokes.

Disc brakes become very hot during use. Do not touch

the caliper or rotor immediately after use. Make sure the

brake has cooled down before making any adjustments.

I.S. MOUNT

Loosen the CPS bolts, then bolt the caliper to the mounting

tabs. Tighten the mounting bolts to the speciﬁed torque.

Check that the caliper moves freely on the CPS hardware.

POST MOUNT

Remove the mounting bracket but leave the CPS bolts

and washer stacks intact. Bolt the caliper directly to the

fork. Snug the bolts, then back them out

Loosen the CPS bolts, then mount the rear caliper (longer hose) to the I.S. tabs

on the rear of the bike. Tighten the mounting bolts to the speciﬁed torque.

Check that the caliper moves freely on the CPS hardware.

MOUNT REAR CALIPER

Mount the levers onto the handlebar in the proper position. Arrows must point up. Make sure there is enough

hose for the handlebar to turn freely side to side.

Tighten the top bolt completely

to the speciﬁed torque

so there is no gap. Tighten the bottom bolt to the same torque.

MOUNT LEVERS

TORQUE TO:

5-7 Nm (40-60 in-lb)

Mount levers with

No Gap

If necessary, you can change the banjo position to improve hose

routing. Start by removing the brake pads so you don’t risk getting

DOT

ﬂ

uid on the pad surface (see pad replacement steps for

directions). Adjust the angle of the banjo by loosening the banjo

bolt with two 5mm hex wrenches on either side of the caliper. Next

slightly loosen all four caliper bolts along the outside of the caliper.

Rotate the banjo

ﬁ

tting to the desired position and re-tighten all

four caliper bolts and then the banjo bolt to the speciﬁed torque.

Make sure there is enough hose at critical points to allow for

suspension movement, but also make sure there aren’t any big

loops of extra hose. Now, secure the hoses to the frame and fork.

Note:

You will have introduced air into the system by changing the

banjo position, don’t be lazy, take 5 minutes and bleed the system

when you are done with the installation.

Note:

If you need to shorten the hose, please refer to the

“Hose Length Adjustment” section of this guide (page 11).

ADJUST HOSE ANGLE, THEN ROUTE

TORQUE TO:

2.8-3.4 Nm

Squeeze the front lever 5 or 6 times, then hold. Compress the lever (with your hand

or a rubber band), then snug the CPS bolts enough to hold the caliper in place.

Spin the wheel and check for rotor drag. If there is drag, loosen the

CPS bolts and repeat. Once there is no drag, torque the CPS

bolts in an alternating fashion to the speciﬁed torque.

Repeat the procedure for the rear brake.

TORQUE TO:

8-10 Nm

(70-90 in-lb)

(in an alternating fashion)

PAD REPLACEMENT

ALIGN AND TRUE CALIPERS

1. REMOVE PAD RETAINER BOLT

Start by removing the “E” clip on the wheel side of the caliper, then unscrew

the retainer bolt using a 2.5mm hex wrench. Remove the retainer bolt all

the way.

The “E” clip goes on the

wheel side of the caliper

2. PUSH THE PISTONS BACK IN

CODE calipers are self-adjusting, the pistons need to be pushed

back into the body to their original position before the new pads can

be installed. The safest way to do this is with the old pads still in the

caliper to protect the pistons. Place a

ﬂ

at-blade screwdriver between

the old pads, then carefully rock it back and forth, pushing the pistons

back into their bores.

Use a 2.5mm hex wrench to adjust the reach if necessary.

Tip:

You can also use the rebound adjuster knob from a

RockShox fork to make this adjustment.

2.5mm hex reach

adjust screw

ADJUST REACH

3. REMOVE THE OLD PADS

Grab one of the pad tabs and slide the pad toward the center of the

caliper (this disengages the pad backing plate from the post in the

center of the piston), then pull the pad straight out. Repeat for the

other pad.

Note:

The spreader clip that sits in between the pads

may not come out with the second pad. If not, push it out from

the open top of the caliper with your little

ﬁ

nger.

4. INSTALL THE NEW PADS AND SPREADER

Now it’s time to set the pad contact point exactly where it feels best

for your hand. Experiment, turn the red adjuster knob both ways and

see what different settings feel like. Then, chose the spot that you

prefer. You can change the setting whenever you want.

Be sure the spreader clip is oriented to the pads as shown below.

Squeeze the pad and clip assembly together, then insert into the

caliper as a unit. Firmly push until the assembly “clicks” into place.

ADJUST PAD ENGAGEMENT POINT

5. RE-INSTALL PAD RETAINER BOLT

Replace the pad retainer bolt, tighten to torque speciﬁcations, and replace the “E” clip on the wheel side of the caliper.

CHANGING HOSE LENGTHS AND BLEEDING

PAD

ACT

CODE brakes come with hoses already attached in an “average” length. The system has already been bled, so if you do

not need to change the hose length, then you are ready to ride. If, however, you do need to change hose lengths, then

follow the simple procedure outlined next in this manual.

IN (clockwise):

The lever will engage later.

OUT (counter-clockwise):

The lever will engage earlier.
