🚴 SHIMANO M375 Post Mount Brake Caliper Black 2016 - High Performance Brake Caliper for Enhanced Cycling Experience Review

This is the Shimano equivalent of the Avid BB5 caliper, only slightly heavier. The easiest way to adjust this type of brake when one side is engaging and the other is stationary: 1. Screw the caliper tight but leave it slightly loose.2. Place a business card between the rotor and the stationary pad side.3. Adjust the opposite side pad inwards. In this case you need an Allen key, not Torx.4. Tighten the caliper firmly.5. Remove the business card. Your caliper should now not be touching the rotor

I have a 2011 GT Karakoram and the rear brake pads kept rubbing on the disc. Not the disc, but the pads shifted from left to right, it was terrible. I did it alone, first time for me. One piece of advice, I had to ask a friend for help, the cable goes through rather than going through and then being pinched. The standard passed so I tried feeding that one but couldn't get it to work the first time. One more thing to note and apologies for the lack of technical detail. The hex on the inner…

My 26-inch mountain bike originally only had V-brakes. So if you want to upgrade to disc brakes, make sure: 1. You have a fork (if these brakes are installed at the front) and/or frame (if these brakes are installed at the rear) with IS disc brake mounts. Many cheap old mountain bikes don't have disc brake mounts. 2. You can mount a brake disc on your existing front and/or rear wheel. My old wheels were not compatible with disc brakes at all. So I had to buy an "ALEX Z1000 QR 6-BOLT" front…

These calipers are very easy to install and set up. I installed them on a hard 29er single speed with a damaged hub which is causing the rotor to wobble a bit. Not only did these calipers have enough clearance to eliminate annoying braking friction, but they still felt firm and responsive through the first half of lever effort. The fixed pad adjustment screw simplifies pad wear adjustment. ________________ These calipers provide adequate stopping power. Once mounted with the new Shimano BR56…

I've decided to upgrade my MTB and the brakes were one of the systems I thought deserved an upgrade. I originally had V-brakes, wanted to try disc brakes and figured a pair of SHIMANO M375 calipers would be a good choice to start with. M375 calipers come with mounting bolts (pre-locked), washers and pads. Installation was easy and straightforward. I installed 180mm Shimano XT SM-RT86 rotors front and rear. I used a Shimano SM-MA90 post adapter for the front fork and a Shimano SM-MA-R180 IS post
