This image displays the TEKTRO MT-2.1 Alloy Brake Lever, highlighting its two-finger design, black main body, and silver lever. The clamp mechanism for handlebar attachment is visible at the top, along with the cable adjustment barrel.

1. Prepare Handlebar: Ensure the handlebar area where the levers will be mounted is clean and free of grease. Remove any existing grips or accessories if necessary.
2. Mount Levers: Afluixa el clamp bolt on each brake lever. Slide the levers onto the handlebar, positioning them comfortably for your hands. The levers are designed for a 22.2mm handlebar diameter.
3. Connect Brake Cables: Insert the brake cable barrel end into the lever body. Route the brake cable through the lever's cable guide and adjustment barrel.
4. Route Cable Housing: Guide the brake cable housing from the lever to the brake caliper/mechanism, ensuring smooth bends and no kinks.
5. Cable segur: Attach the brake cable to the brake caliper/mechanism according to its specific instructions. Pull the cable taut and secure it with the retaining bolt.
6. Ajustar la tensió del cable: Use the barrel adjuster on the brake lever to fine-tune cable tension. Turn clockwise to loosen (more slack) and counter-clockwise to tighten (less slack). Adjust until the brake pads are close to the rim/rotor without rubbing.
7. Position and Tighten Levers: Once the cable tension is set, adjust the angle and position of the brake levers on the handlebar for optimal ergonomics. Tighten the lever clamp bolts securely. Do not overtighten.
8. Comprovació final: Squeeze the brake levers firmly several times to seat the cables and housing. Re-check cable tension and lever position. Ensure the brakes engage and release smoothly.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

The TEKTRO MT-2.1 levers are designed for a comfortable 2-finger operation, providing efficient braking power for V-brakes and cantilever brakes.

• To apply the brakes, gently squeeze the levers towards the handlebar.
• For controlled stopping, apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously.
• Practice braking in a safe, open area to become familiar with the feel and stopping power of your brakes.
• Avoid sudden, hard braking, especially with the front brake, as this can lead to loss of control.

6. Manteniment

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and ensure the safe operation of your TEKTRO MT-2.1 brake levers.

• Neteja: Wipe down the levers and surrounding areas with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or components.
• Inspecció del cable: Periodically check brake cables for fraying, rust, or kinks. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Lubricació: Apply a small amount of bicycle-specific lubricant to the pivot points of the levers and where the cable enters the housing to ensure smooth operation.
• Lever Tightness: Ensure the lever clamp bolts remain tight. If they become loose, re-tighten them to prevent the levers from rotating on the handlebar.
• Brake Pad Wear: Regularly inspect your brake pads for wear. Worn pads reduce braking performance and can damage rims/rotors. Replace them as needed.
