STEP BY STEP
CLASH : ajuster sa durite de frein arrière
STEP 0

Congratulations on the purchase of your COMMENCAL CLASH bike!
Here's a tutorial to help you adjust the placement of the rear brake cable.
 
Attention: Misplacement can result in too much tension and in turn damage.


STEP 1

After you’ve built your CLASH, deflate the shock of air, or remove the spring from the damper.


STEP 2

Gradually compress the suspension, controlling the tension of the hose between the chain stay and the caliper.


STEP 3

During full compression, if the hose is tight, it's necessary to adjust its position in order to have the correct length.


STEP 4

Equip yourself with the necessary tools:
- 2.5mm Allen key
- 5mm Allen key
- Torx key T25


STEP 5

Loosen the chain stay hose passage using the 2.5mm Allen key.


STEP 6

Loosen the hose passage at the bottom of the down tube with the 2.5mm Allen key.


STEP 7

Pull the hose a few centimetres from the down tube towards the back of the bike.


STEP 8

Pull the hose a few centimetres from the chain stay towards the calliper.


STEP 9

Unscrew (1/4 turn) the screw that holds the hose connection to the caliper using the Torx T25 wrench.


STEP 10

Align the connection parallel to the seat stay.


STEP 11

Tighten the hose connection.


STEP 12

Compress the suspension again gradually, controlling the tension of the hose between the chain stay and the calliper.
During complete compression there must be a little bit of slack in the hose.


STEP 13

Tighten the hose passage through the chain stay.


STEP 14

Tighten the hose passage through the down tube.


STEP 15

If the hose touches the spokes in its curve, remove the brake caliper using the 5mm Allen key.


STEP 16

Rotate the caliper one full turn, clockwise, to change the curve of the hose.


STEP 17

Install the calliper and adjust the position so that the pads do not touch the disc.


STEP 18

Tighten the 2 screws with the 5mm Allen key.


STEP 19

Check one last time by compressing the suspension.


STEP 20

Re-inflate your air shock, or refit the spring.


STEP 21

Your CLASH is ready for action. Have a good ride!
