Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These pads are specifically designed for Avid Code RSC, Avid Code R, SRAM Code RSC, and SRAM Code R brake systems. Always verify your brake model before purchasing.
Installation:
- Ensure your bike is securely supported and the wheel is removed.
- Carefully remove the old brake pads according to your brake manufacturer's instructions (usually involves removing a retaining pin or clip).
- Clean the caliper interior and piston area gently with isopropyl alcohol.
- Install the new Avid Code disc brake pads, ensuring they are seated correctly.
- Reinstall the retaining pin or clip.
- Replace the wheel and perform a brake bed-in procedure (repeatedly apply and release the brake lever while spinning the wheel, gradually increasing pressure) to ensure optimal performance.
Care:
- Regularly inspect pads for wear. Replace when the friction material is thin.
- Keep the braking surface of the rotor clean. Use a dedicated disc brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
- Avoid contaminating pads with lubricants or excessive water.
