Full details

This dual pivot brake system is specifically engineered to accommodate up to 28c tires, providing a versatile balance of performance and clearance for modern road frames.

FAQs

Will this fit a mountain bike?

No, this is a road caliper brake intended for standard road bike frames with 39mm-49mm reach.

Can I use these with 25c tires?

Yes, the R313 is compatible with 28c tires and smaller, including 25c.

Does this come with mounting hardware?

Yes, it includes the necessary hardware for standard road brake installation.

How heavy is the R313 brake?

The Tektro R313 weighs approximately 180 grams.

Are the brake pads replaceable?

Yes, the P453 brake pads can be replaced once they reach the end of their service life.

What does the quick release do?

The quick release opens the brake caliper width, allowing the tire to pass through when removing or installing the wheel.

Troubleshooting

Brake pads are rubbing against the tire.

Adjust the vertical position of the brake pads within the shoe slots or ensure your wheel is properly seated in the dropouts.

Braking feels spongy or weak.

Check your brake cable for fraying, ensure the housing is seated correctly, and tighten the cable tension using the barrel adjuster.

Brake arms do not center properly.

Use the centering adjustment screw located on the side of the brake caliper to balance the spring tension on both arms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Tektro R313, ensure your frame features center-bolt mounting holes compatible with standard recessed nut or long-bolt systems. Verify that the distance from the brake bolt to the center of the rim braking surface falls within the 39mm-49mm range.
