General Brake Maintenance

• Check for pad wear or debris.

  Keep the pads and discs clean.

  An occasional brushing of the disc holes is worth doing maybe once a year.

• Check hydraulic fluid level.

  Make sure the brake fluid is in good shape and the type/specs you need.

  If in doubt, replace with fresh fluid (not from an already opened bottle).

• Make sure the brake fluid reservoir is not over-filled (top).

  There has to be some empty space, or your bike will be lightly "braked" and your disk/pads will deteriorate prematurely...and you will get less range.
