FAQs

What type of brake fluid does the Clout1 use?

Can I use this brake on both the front and rear?

This model is for the rear wheel only; it is sold as a single piece. You would need to purchase another for the front.

How do I adjust the lever reach?

Locate the reach adjustment on the lever and turn it to adjust the lever's distance to the handlebar.

How often should I bleed the brakes?

Bleeding frequency depends on usage and riding conditions. It is recommended to bleed the brakes when performance degrades or when spongy feel is noticed.

What is the rotor size?

The rotor size is 160mm.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel spongy or have excessive lever travel.

The system may have air in the lines. Bleed the brakes according to the manufacturer's instructions or consult a bike mechanic.

Brakes are rubbing against the rotor.

Realignment of the caliper is needed. Loosen the caliper bolts, squeeze the brake lever, and retighten the bolts while the lever is squeezed.

Braking power is weak.

Check the brake pads for wear. Ensure the rotor is clean and free of contaminants. Inspect the brake lines for leaks or damage.
