Introduction

This guide contains information on how to replace the brake pads on a 2013 Felt Z85 Road Bike. This guide only requires one tool (4mm allen key) and is fairly straightforward.

This guide can also be used as a reference for any modern road bike with Dual-Pivot brakes.

              Remove Wheel
  • Pull up on brake-release lever to spread pads for easy access.
  • Release lever on the right side of the wheel.
  • Loosen left nut on wheel until wheel comes free.
