Step 1. On a gradual downhill slope, pull on each brake for 20 to 30 seconds, alternating between front and rear. Repeat this process 2 to 3 times. Step 2. On a steeper incline, apply and pull the brakes for 10 to 15 seconds, then increase the pressure on the lever until the bike slows down almost to a complete stop. Repeat 2-3 times.Pro tip: The front pads will have been heated more than the rear pads. For best performance, swap the front and rear pads then repeat step 2.SRAM:Code R (2018+),RSC (2018+)Avid RE Guide:Code (2011-2014)Code RFeatures:Composed of long life and high endurance padsVery easy modulation of braking forceHigh temperature stability for constant braking powerLow noise and rotor friendly organic formula.
