[. . . ] · The required braking distance will be longer during wet weather. Reduce your speed and apply the brakes early and gently. · If the road surface is wet, the tires will skid more easily. If the tires skid, you may fall off the bicycle. [. . . ] This can be done by consulting your professional bicycle dealer and the bicycle's owners manual, and by practicing your riding and braking technique. · The S500 disc brakes are designed for optimum performance when used in combination with the BR-S500 (calipers), BL-S500 (brake lever), SM-RT62 (rotor) and Shimano pad unit. · Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn, or damaged parts may cause injury to the rider. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement parts. · Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference. When cleaning with a compressor · If disassembling the caliper body to clean the internal parts using a compressor, note that moisture from the compressed air may remain on the caliper components. Let the caliper components dry sufficiently before reassembling the calipers. I Installation of the hose Refer to the Service Instructions for the SM-BH59 brake hose (SI-8H20) for details on installing the hose. Do not let the hose become twisted when installing. Make sure that the calipers and levers are in the positions shown in the illustrations. < For left lever > If the lever isn't stiff, adjust by the following procedure. Either a cap method or a wire ring method can be used to stop the bolts from turning. Use whichever method is suitable for the front fork and frame. Cap method < Front > Post type Caps Caps < Rear > When the lever is depressed once more, bubbles will rise up and be released into the reservoir tank. In addition, be careful not to get any oil on parts such as the rotor and brake pads. Tightening torque: 0. 3 - 0. 5 N·m {2. 7 - 4. 4 in. lbs. } Reservoir tank Hose Calipers Maintenance I Brake pad replacement Note: The S500 brake system is designed so that as the brake pads become worn, the pistons gradually move outward to automatically adjust the clearance between the rotor and the brake pads. Therefore, you need to push the pistons back to their original positions when replacing the brake pads. If oil adheres to the brake pads after oil is added, or if the brake pads are worn down to a thickness of 0. 5 mm, replace the brake pads. Installation The following tools are needed to assemble this product. Usage location Rotor installation ring Brake lever fixing bolt Caliper fixing bolt / Adapter fixing bolts Brake pad fixing shaft Brake hose fixing bolt Reservoir tank cover Cable supporter Bleed nipple TL-LR15 Allen key 5 mm Allen key 5 mm Radio pliers 8 mm wrench Phillips screwdriver #1 Phillips screwdriver #2 Socket wrench 7 mm Bag Socket wrench (7mm) Tube Brake pads 7. Return the brake lever to its original position. Note: Do not use brake fluid fillers, as they can cause small bubbles of air to form, and such bubbles can cause severe drops in braking performance. 1. Remove the wheel from the frame, and remove the brake pads as shown in the illustration. Tool 2. Set the brake lever so that it is parallel to the ground, and then remove the reservoir tank cover. Split pin 2. Set a 7mm socket wrench in place, attach a bag to the tube, and then place the tube onto the bleed nipple as shown in the illustration. Bleed nipple I Installation of the calipers (BR-S500) and securing the hose · Remove the pad spacer A (yellow), and then set the wheel which has the rotor onto the frame. After this, bend open the split pin. Brake pads 4. Push the piston back in as far as it will go, while being careful not to twist it. [. . . ] Contact with skin may cause a rash and discomfort.
