How to perform bed-in for hydraulic brakes

How to perform bed-in for hydraulic brakes

To optimize the performance of the brake pads and disc brake rotor, perform the bed-in procedure as explained in the steps below:

  1. Ride your bicycle in a flat and safe area without obstacles and accelerate to a moderate speed.
  2. Operate the brake lever until you slow down to walking speed.

    Do this only with one brake lever at a time. Be careful when performing this procedure. Always operate your brake lever with moderation, especially when you bed in the front brake.

  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for at least 20 times for both the front and rear brakes.

    While repeating the process, the brake force will increase.

All you need to know: Why your Bicycle chain breaks

All you need to know: Why your Bicycle chain breaks

Bicycle chains can break off and we can avoid to a maximum extend, but not preventable 100%. So care must be taken for precision installation and maintanance by spcialist mechanics for ensuring that the chain is taken care by skills and experience. In certain cases, we rarely see the chain getting stuck while pedalling and eventually breaking off. The cause of this is very clear but unpredictable or non-preventable fully.
