The names of the different parts of the Shimano BR-M8120 brake system are as follows: 1. Brake lever: This is the component that you operate with your fingers to engage the brakes. 2. Disc brake rotor: It is a circular metal disc attached to the wheel hub. When the brake pads squeeze against the rotor, it creates friction to slow down or stop the bicycle. 3. Caliper: The caliper is responsible for housing the brake pads and applying pressure to the disc brake rotor when the brake lever is squeezed. 4. Brake pad: These are the replaceable components that come into contact with the disc brake rotor. They provide the necessary friction to stop the bicycle. By familiarizing yourself with these names, you will have a better understanding of the different components that make up the Shimano BR-M8120 brake system.
To adjust the reach of the brake levers on the Shimano BR-M8120, follow these steps: 1. Locate the reach adjustment mechanism on the brake lever. It is usually a small dial or screw located near the pivot point of the lever. 2. Use a suitable tool, such as an Allen key or screwdriver, to adjust the reach. Turning the dial or screw clockwise will bring the lever closer to the handlebar, while turning it counterclockwise will move the lever farther away. 3. Start by making small adjustments and test the reach after each adjustment. Squeeze the brake lever and ensure that you can comfortably reach it without straining your fingers or hand. 4. Continue making adjustments until you find the optimal reach position that provides a comfortable and secure grip on the brake lever. 5. Once you have achieved the desired reach, tighten the reach adjustment mechanism securely to prevent any unwanted movement or changes. By following these steps, you can easily adjust the reach of the brake levers on the Shimano BR-M8120 to suit your personal preference and riding comfort.
