The disc brake road bike has been more and more popular. Unlike the rim brake road bike, the tools required for the disc brake wheel are different. So what tools should we keep? Or what should we update on existing equipment after we change to the disc brake? These three things will help a lot when using the disc brakes.

1. Tires above 25C.

The tire is a part of the safety of our riding. There seems to be some extraordinary coincidence that the disc brakes have appeared after the widespread launch of the 25C tire. The 23C or 24C tires we used in the past are actually fully used on the road brakes, and many research conclusions about the conventional tires with 25C rolling resistance less than 23C have sprung up.

However, the powerful braking force of the disc brake will eventually be transmitted to the tire, and the grip of the too thin tire can not be compared with the wide tire of the same grade. When you pinch the brakes, the thin tires have less contact with the ground than the wide tires, then its bursting point will come earlier. If you insist on using a 21 or 23C tire, then the disc brakes are in your car. The role may also be one of the hidden dangers of crashing. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to use a tire with a size below 25C when using a disc brake road bike.

2. Hydraulic Caliper Press tool.

When we replace the wheel set on the disc brake bike, accidentally touches the brakes, so the abalone caliper needs this tool to push back into place. Even if the chances are not too big, there is always room in the house. If you happen to encounter this situation before you need to go out, there is no tool in your home, which is awkward.

3. Disc adjustment tool.

The disc adjustment tool seems to be one of the must-have tools in the home. When you ride rim brake bike go out, you need to check the brake blocks frequently, and whether there is any yaw around the brakes, you need to adjust to the center position in time. It is also necessary to check the condition of the disc brakes to see if the disc is yawed, etc. It is also a necessary prerequisite for safe riding
