A 2-piston brake caliper features two pistons that apply even pressure to the brake pads, resulting in improved braking performance and responsiveness. This design enhances the overall stopping power and control of your bike, making it a preferred choice for many cyclists, especially in demanding riding conditions.

A retention bolt is a small fastener that secures the brake pads within the caliper. It ensures that the pads remain in place during use, which is crucial for maintaining effective braking performance. Understanding the role of the retention bolt can help you with proper assembly and maintenance of your brake system, ensuring safety and reliability while riding.

To maintain your semi-metallic brake pads, regularly check for wear and replace them when they become too thin. Keep the brake system clean by removing dirt and debris, and ensure that the retention bolts are securely fastened. Additionally, avoid overheating the pads by not riding the brakes excessively, especially during long descents. Proper maintenance will extend the life of your brake pads and enhance your overall biking experience.
