Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this brake kit come with rotors?

No, the kit does not include rotors. It is compatible with 140mm or 160mm rotors.

Can I use DOT fluid in this system?

No, you must only use Tektro/TRP mineral oil. DOT fluid will damage the internal seals.

Is the hose length adjustable?

Yes, the 1.9m hose can be cut to fit your bike's specific frame geometry.

What type of brake pads does the J2820 use?

It uses low-noise resin brake pads, which are designed for smooth operation and are easily replaceable.

Is this a front or rear brake?

The J2820 is designed to be versatile; please ensure you select the appropriate length and mount configuration for your specific front or rear wheel needs.

Troubleshooting

Brake feels spongy at the lever

Ensure the hose connection at the lever is fully seated and tight. If air remains, a professional bleed may be required.

Brakes are making a squealing noise

Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol and check for glazed brake pads. Sand the pads lightly or replace if contaminated.

Brake lever pulls all the way to the handlebar

Adjust the reach setting on the lever or check for proper pad seating. If the issue persists, the system may need a bleed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the J2820 is straightforward due to the pre-bled design. To install, mount the caliper to the frame's post mounts using the included bolts, then route the hose through your frame. If the 1.9m length is excessive, cut the hose, install a new barb and olive, and secure it with the provided compression nut. Always ensure you are using a rotor compatible with hydraulic resin pads. For maintenance, clean the rotor periodically with isopropyl alcohol to remove contaminants. Check pad thickness regularly; replace the resin pads as soon as the friction material wears down to ensure consistent performance and protect the rotor surface.
