3. Recommended and approved brake pads
SwissStop yellow pads
Farsports blue pads
Bontrager cork pads
Failure to comply with these recommendations will void your warranty.
4. Recommended braking area for clincher
5mm lower from the circle edge, braking area is about 11mm
5. Recommended run-in period is about 200km
From our experience, we found that it is not suitable to do long descent for new wheels with new brake pads.
Do not use it for long descent and High strength braking during run-in period
