Brake Adjuster

Brake adjustment as you've never seen before. Our patent pending brake adjuster allows you to increase the base pressure in your brakes. This crushes any bubble that may arise in your brake line, which increases the bleed interval so that your brakes feel better for longer. About 15 psi can be added to the brake line before lever throw is significantly impact, enabling this functionality to without requiring a shorter lever throw. Want snappier levers though? Dial in a little extra pressure beyond this and you'll find a sweet spot in no time! The adjuster bolts on to your lever in place of the cover and diaphragm and is still easy to bleed.

The system functions by adjusting preload on a spring pushing a piston. This piston takes the place of the diaphragm. The spring force is responsible for the added pressure in the brake line. Elasticity in the spring allows fluid to enter the reservoir when the brakes heat up and it expands and leave the reservoir when the pads wear without a significant impact on lever feel. So as your brakes heat up over a lap or the pads wear down with use your brakes still retain that solid feel. This is what sets this apart from other brake dials you may have seen that simply force more fluid into the brake caliper. Those do not accommodate pad wear or increase in brake temp as our brake adjuster does.

The bleed procedure is surprisingly like what it was before. A handful of cycles pressure and vacuum cycles coupled with moving the lever body around a little is all it takes to get all the air out of the adjuster. We advise doing this with the adjuster wound all the way in to minimize the amount of air starting in the adjuster. Then back the adjuster off and pressurize the syringe to push the piston up in the adjuster housing.
