TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
What tools will you need?
When carrying out this task, you may need:
A brake pad spacer, brake cleaner, and a microfibre cloth.
To be able to brake effectively on your bike, it's crucial to bed-in your brakes.
Proper bedding-in means gradually heating up the brake pads and discs to make them more effective.Before starting out, make sure the discs are clean and consider replacing them if you're changing the brake pads.Wear a helmet, get hold of a cycle computer or GPS, and pick a flat road that's dry and obstacle-free.
The bedding-in process means applying the brakes gradually over a series of intervals, increasing your speed at each interval.
Apply the front and back brakes alternately so as to bed them in with balance.Start at 15 km/h and brake gradually till you slow down to 5 km/h, ten times. Repeat this at 20 km/h then at 25 km/h.After each stage, ride a few dozen metres without braking to let the system cool down.
A few extra tips for bedding-in your disc brakes:
For correct bedding-in, use one brake at a time: that way, you won't damage the brake pads.It is advisable to cycle on a flat road, smoothly, without braking abruptly.Be patient, as the process can take up to 30 minutes. If you notice colourful reflections on your discs or impaired braking, it may mean your brake pads are glazed.Get them checked ath the Decathlon workshop.
