How do i change pad contact on avid juicy 3's? |
How do i change pad contact on avid juicy 3's? Hey, If they are rubbing, they might be slightly misadjusted, or there is a slight warp in the rotor. Since they are double-piston caliper brakes, both brake pads move in at the same time. Here is how to adjust them: Loosen the caliper fixing bolts just a tad so the caliper can wiggle side to side. While loose, squeeze the brake on the rotor in a few different spots in the wheel rotation - this should center the caliper over the rotor. Next, sqeeze the brake lever fairly tight, and do up the fixing bolts a little at a time, switching between the two, until they are tight. Last, as the other guy said, you can adjust the reach of the lever with a 2mm alan key. This can make the lever farther away from the bar, so you can pull it a little tighter before hitting your fingers. Also, if the levers feel mushy, or still don't give you enough finger clearance while strongly braking, you might try getting them rebled. good luck Source(s): work in a bike shop On juicy 3s its automatic. The pads align themselves as they wear. If you wanted to change pad contact points, you need to upgrade to juicy 7s. The most you can do is adjust the reach, which is done using a 2mm allen key on the inside of the lever. http://www.sram.com/_media/techdocs/95.5... The manual for your brakes. |
