Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines for installation and maintenance:
- Compatibility: Verify your caliper model (e.g., Spyre, Spyre SLC, Spyke, Hylex, Hy/Rd) before installation to ensure the P-A12RS is the correct match.
- Cleanliness: Always clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol before installing new pads to remove old residue or contaminants.
- Bedding-in: After installing, perform a proper 'bed-in' procedure by completing several moderate stops from medium speed to properly transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor surface.
- Contamination: Avoid touching the braking surface of the pads with your fingers, as oils from skin can cause brake squeal and loss of friction.
- Replacement: Regularly inspect pad thickness; replace the pads when the friction material is worn down to 0.5mm or less.
