Using this Shimano Dura Ace BR - R9170 Rear Flat - Mount Disc Brake Caliper is straightforward. First, make sure the brake caliper is properly installed on your bike. When you squeeze the brake lever, the hydraulic system will activate the pads to grip the rotor, stopping your bike. Remember, since it uses mineral oil, avoid getting any other types of fluids in the system as it can damage the brake performance. For maintenance, check the pads regularly. If they are worn out, replace them with new resin pads. Also, keep the brake caliper clean. You can use a mild cleaner to wipe it down and remove any dirt or debris. When replacing the wheel, follow the standard procedure, and ensure the brake caliper is adjusted correctly so that the pads are at the right distance from the rotor.
