SRAM Road AXS | How to: Center Brake Calipers

If your brake rotor is rubbing, it may require centering.
1. Use a T25 Torx wrench.
2. Loosen the caliper bolts with a T25 Torx Wrench.
3. Lightly squeeze the brake lever 3 times to advance the brake pads to the rotor.
4. Then hold the lever to center the caliper on the rotor.
5. Tighten the caliper bolts to 5Nm
6. Check that the brake pads are equally spaced on either side of the rotor.
7. Repeat the process and adjust the caliper by hand to center if necessary.

how many nm?

Can you update the mechanical doubletap video?? how to shift both rear and front and how to go back 2 gears in the back.

[@diehardbikes]

This video is very not detailed.

[@plain-bagel]

I guess the assumption is that if you can't follow along with something this simple, words aren't gonna help ya

[@invishand3]

A number of Newton meters is.
Hilarious.
That's the only reason I watched. Waste of my time. Bike frame co instructed me to check w brake manufacturer. Luckily they put 5nM in the word description near the end...

@@plain-bagel Except they could have said "squeeze three time" and included the actual rating of 5nm in the video.

I call this out as not a real world scenario. First thing, take the wheel out and check the rotor to make sure it is tightened. Then, put the wheel in a truing stand with a rotor alignment tool and make sure the rotor is true. Then start making your adjustments on the caliper by eye sight or squeezing the lever and tightening the mounting screws and making the adjustments.

[@rustler08]

You do not need to remove your wheels to make sure your rotor is tight. And you do not need a truing stand to make sure the rotor is true. In fact, your caliper is a great tool for checking if the rotor is true because you can see the space between the rotor and pad shrink if it's out of true.

@@rustler08 I bet I can use my method quicker and more true than the old method you speak of. I've done both for more than 25 years. Thanks! Have a great ride!

@@toddlong2785wow, so catty and passive aggressive. They were proposing a method that's more accessible to those of us who don't have a truing stand. Your method requires more equipment and absolutely takes longer. Just chill. Oh, and HAVE A NICE RIDE 😘
