Episode notes
Bedding in Disc Brakes
- Bed in your disc brakes by repeatedly slowing down almost to a stop, transferring pad material to the rotor.
- This ensures optimal braking performance.
Torque Wrench Importance
- Use a torque wrench for key bike components like stem bolts and seat post clamps.
- This prevents over-tightening and potential damage.
Unbound Gravel Gear
