Running in is too often neglected, it is an important step when your brake pads or discs need to be replaced. It's about braking performance. Vibrations or squeaking noises may appear if this operation is not carried out correctly.
STEPS
Reminder: A lapped disc with a certain type of lining will only be compatible with that type until it is replaced.
- Perform a series of 15 contained brakes from 20 to 5 km/h. It is important not to stop between two braking operations to properly ventilate the MTB disc as well as the caliper.
- Then stop to let your brake cool down for 5 minutes.
- Now carry out a series of 10 more intense brakings, without stopping dead in your tracks, going from 30 to 5 km/h. It is important not to stop between two braking operations to properly ventilate the disc and the caliper.
- Switch to the other brake by repeating steps 1 to 3
