Maintenance Guide for DYISLAND Hydraulic Disc Brakes

Hydraulic disc brakes provide extremely reliable braking force during cycling, ensuring the safety of riders. However, to keep the brake system in optimal condition, regular maintenance and care are essential. Today, DYISLAND brings you a detailed maintenance guide for hydraulic disc brakes to help you easily master the methods of daily maintenance and ensure that every brake is safe and reliable.

 

1. Check the brake fluid: Ensure the brakes are responsive
The heart of hydraulic disc brakes is the brake fluid, which is the key to transmitting braking force. DYISLAND recommends using environmentally friendly mineral oil, which can maintain stable performance in both high and low temperature environments and is suitable for long-term use. However, even if mineral oil has stable performance, the brake fluid may be contaminated or deteriorate after long-term use. It is recommended to replace it every 6 to 12 months.

Operation steps:

• Use DYISLAND's special oil filling kit to drain the old oil and thoroughly clean the system.

• Add new mineral oil to the system and make sure there are no bubbles.

• Check the brake feel to ensure that the brakes are responsive and there is no lag.

2. Check the wear of the brake pads: Replace the brake pads when they are needed
The condition of the brake pads has a direct impact on the braking effect. Generally speaking, if the thickness of the brake pads is less than 1mm, it is time to consider replacing them. The sintered metal and resin brake pads provided by DYISLAND are suitable for different riding environments. Sintered metal brake pads are durable and suitable for long-distance riding, while resin brake pads are quieter and suitable for urban commuting.

Steps to replace the brake pads:

• Loosen the screws on the caliper and remove the old brake pads.

• Check if there is dust or impurities inside the caliper, clean it and install the new brake pads.

• Press the new brake pads tightly to ensure that they are firmly installed, and then test the braking performance.

3. Adjust the brake handle: Improve control comfort
The angle and position of the brake handle have a great impact on the control and comfort of riding. DYISLAND's brake handle supports angle adjustment, which is convenient for users to adjust according to their personal hand shape and grip posture, reducing hand pressure during long-term riding.

How to adjust the handle:

• Use a hexagonal wrench to loosen the handle adjustment screw and adjust the handle to a comfortable angle.

• After adjustment, make sure that the handle can respond quickly when lightly pressed to avoid being too loose or too tight.

4. Clean the caliper and brake disc: Keep the brake system clean

The caliper and brake disc are easily contaminated by road dirt, dust and oil, which will reduce the braking effect. Therefore, regular cleaning of the caliper and brake disc is essential to ensure braking performance.

Cleaning steps:

• Use a clean cloth and special brake cleaner to wipe the brake disc, and avoid using oily cleaners.

• Clean the surface of the caliper to prevent dust accumulation.

• Check whether the brake disc is deformed. If there is severe wear, it is recommended to replace the brake disc.

5. Check the oil pipes and interfaces regularly to prevent oil leakage
DYISLAND hydraulic disc brakes use high-quality oil pipes and sealed interfaces to ensure that there is no oil leakage even in extreme environments. However, in long-term use, the oil pipes and interfaces may be worn, and it is very necessary to check these parts regularly.

Inspection method:

• Gently press each interface of the oil pipe by hand to check for oil leakage.
• If any oil leakage is found, it is recommended to replace the interface and oil pipe in time to avoid affecting the braking performance.

6. Adjust the brake system in time: maintain brake sensitivity
After long-term use, the sensitivity of the brake system may decrease. Therefore, it is very important to adjust the system regularly to ensure fast and stable brake response.

Adjustment steps:

• Use DYISLAND's oil injection tool to remove bubbles in the system and ensure that the oil circuit is unobstructed.
• Gently press the handle and observe the response of the caliper to ensure smooth closing and release of the caliper

7. Benefits of maintaining DYISLAND hydraulic disc brakes
Regular maintenance can not only extend the service life of the DYISLAND brake system, but also greatly improve the riding experience, ensuring that every brake during riding is accurate and reliable. Through the above maintenance steps, DYISLAND's hydraulic disc brakes will always maintain stable performance, allowing you to enjoy strong braking force while riding.
