Cleaning Your Bicycle
Brakes: The Brake Calipers and Brake Pads
Cleaning and
maintaining smooth working brakes is crucial for
smooth stops and overall bicycle safety! Follow these
steps for both the front and the rear brake system.
Cleaning the brake system is a simple process but as
I mentioned, is extremely
important! It is best to remove both wheels to
perform this step |

1)
Dip your toothbrush in your degreaser and scrub away! With the
wheels removed, pinch the break pads together to get to expose
the difficult-to-reach areas.
2) Also scrub the pads. There will be dirt between the
treads of the pads.
3) Certain parts of the calipers have been known to
attract rust such as the adjusting screw and exposed cable. We
will go over care for the exposed cables later. |
