🔧 Avid Elixir Pad Spreader Tool - Pack of 2 Review

Ideal for my SRAM Guide R calipers I take the front wheel off when transporting the bike so I don't accidentally hit the brakes. The handle is comfortable to hold and easy to find thanks to the red color.

A very handy little tool for spreading brake pads on disc brake mountain bikes. If you accidentally apply the brake lever with the wheel off, the pads will need to be spread apart before you can reinsert the rotor into the brake to re-tighten the wheel. This simplifies the task: just slide two teeth down into the caliper between the two pads. Useful when inserting new spacers as these will likely need to be distributed as well. Very handy little thing!

No more guesswork. Sure, you can try to get to a good level without them, but know that you'll get to a great level without a doubt. I would just consider it a necessary gear period and add them to your leveling kit. The Revain was fantastic for getting what I needed when my brakes failed due to a lack of preventive maintenance and hydraulic brakes were new on an electric bike that is heavy and often needs pads. Found some great sintered pads here that should last a while at a very good price…

I couldn't be without this great and simple little multi-tool. This is for the Avid Elixir but also fits my ProMax Hornet brakes perfectly.

It also makes cleaning the pistons a lot easier by running an alcohol-soaked rag over them in case they get greasy or splattered with DOT. brake unit) to
