If the brake rotor is ever contaminated with oil, grease, or brake fluid, it must be thoroughly cleaned
with the detergent and hot water solution, rinsed with clean water, and air dried before the bike is rid-
den again. If the pads are contaminated, they must be discarded and replaced. Contaminated or oily
braking surfaces will not produce enough friction to stop the bicycle, resulting in a loss of control of
the bicycle and risk of injury or death to the rider.
MOUNTING ROTOR TO HUB
1. Attach the rotors to the hubs with the sup-
plied M5 x 12 bolts. As indicated by the chart
above, the larger rotor goes on the front hub.
The size of the rotor in millimeters is stamped
on each rotor. Torque the rotor bolts to 40-50
In-Lbs (4.5-6 Nm.) Be sure that the rotor is
installed with the ROTATION arrow pointing in
the same direction as forward wheel rotation
(see Fig. 1.)
Note that the Lefty front hub uses a plastic
seal which goes between the rotor and the
large cartridge bearing to guard against water
and dirt. Make sure that the Lefty seal is in
place before bolting on the rotor, and that the
attached rotor will hold the seal in place.
2. Periodically check the bolts holding the
brake rotors to the hubs for tightness.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING BRAKE PADS
CAUTION: THE BRAKE PADS EQUIPPED WITH THE CODA EXPERT DISC BRAKE SYSTEM
ARE MADE OF A KEVLAR BASED COMPOUND SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR USE WITH
THE BRAKE SYSTEM'S STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE ROTORS. USE ONLY CODA REPLACE-
MENT BRAKE PADS (KIT # QBDPAD/GRN) WHICH ARE MATCHED TO THE BRAKE ROTOR
MATERIAL. NOTE THAT OLDER SQUARE CODA COMPETITION DISC BRAKE PADS ARE NOT
COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEWER CODA EXPERT AND COMPETITION DISC BRAKE ROTORS
(171MM AND 151MM DIAMETERS.) HOWEVER, THE NEW RECTANGULAR CODA DISC BRAKE
PADS MAY BE USED ON ALL CODA DISC BRAKE SYSTEMS, REGARDLESS OF ROTOR SIZE.
THE NEW RECTANGULAR CODA COMPETITION DISC BRAKE PADS ARE ALSO RIGHT AND
LEFT SIDE SPECIFIC. THE PAD MUST BE INSERTED SO THAT THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE
PAD MAKES CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR. SEE THE ILLUSTRATION BELOW FOR IDENTIFICA-
TION.
CAUTION: USE ONLY GENUINE CODA
REPLACEMENT DISC BRAKE PADS. USE OF
OTHER BRAKE PADS WILL VOID THE
BRAKE'S WARRANTY AND COULD LEAD TO
POSSIBLE BRAKE FAILURE.
1. The CODA Expert Disc Brake pads are held
in the caliper by magnetic force. The pads have
a steel backing plate and must be installed with
this steel plate facing into the body of the caliper
and the abrasive side facing the rotor, which
runs between the two pads.
2. The CODA Expert Disc Brake pads are right and left side specific. The pad must be inserted so
that the entire surface of the pad makes contact with the rotor. See Fig. 2 for left and right pad identi-
fication.
