Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brake Set Bike Accessory F.A.Q.

How do I install the Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brake Set on my bike?

To install the Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brake Set, first remove your wheel and existing brake caliper. Align the new brake set with the mounting holes on the frame or fork, then secure it using the provided bolts. Adjust the brake pads to align with the wheel rim, ensuring they do not contact the tire. Finally, reconnect the brake cable and adjust the tension for proper braking performance.

How can I adjust the brake pads on the Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brake Set?

Loosen the brake pad mounting bolt slightly, position the pad so it aligns with the rim, and ensure it does not touch the tire. Once correctly positioned, tighten the bolt securely. Be sure both pads are equidistant from the rim for balanced braking.

What should I do if my Bontrager Speed Limit brakes are squeaking?

First, clean the rim and brake pads with rubbing alcohol to remove any debris. Check that the pads are correctly aligned and toed-in, meaning the front of the brake pad makes contact slightly before the rear. If the noise persists, consider replacing the brake pads.

How do I replace the brake cable on the Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brake Set?

Begin by loosening the bolt securing the cable to the brake caliper. Remove the cable from the brake lever and caliper. Thread the new cable through the lever, housing, and caliper. Secure the cable by tightening the bolt on the caliper, and adjust the tension to ensure proper braking action.

What maintenance is recommended for the Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brake Set?

Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear and replace them if they are worn down. Clean the brake calipers and pads to prevent debris buildup, and check the brake cable for fraying. Lubricate pivot points occasionally to ensure smooth operation.

How do I ensure optimal brake performance with the Bontrager Speed Limit set?

Regularly check and adjust brake pad alignment and tension to ensure consistent contact with the rim. Keep the rim and pads clean, and replace worn pads promptly. Inspect cables for wear and replace them as necessary.

Can I use Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brake Set in wet conditions?

Yes, the Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brake Set is designed to function in wet conditions. However, braking performance can be reduced, so it's important to allow extra stopping distance and ensure your brake pads are in good condition.

What should I do if the Bontrager Speed Limit brakes feel spongy?

Spongy brakes typically indicate air in the hydraulic line (if applicable) or slack in the cable. Check for cable tension and adjust as needed. If hydraulic, consider bleeding the brakes to remove air bubbles.

How often should I inspect my Bontrager Speed Limit brakes?

Inspect your brakes before each ride to ensure proper function. Conduct a more thorough inspection every few months or after riding in harsh conditions, checking for pad wear, cable integrity, and caliper alignment.

Are the Bontrager Speed Limit brakes compatible with all road bikes?

The Bontrager Speed Limit Road Brake Set is compatible with most standard road bikes. However, it's important to check the specifications of your bike's frame and fork to ensure proper fitment and alignment.
