As disc brakes become more widespread, there is an increasing chance that you will have them on your bike. Maintenance of disc brakes may seem daunting, but knowing how to perform simple maintenance jobs can save you expense and a trip to the bike shop.

We show you how to replace the disc brake pads and adjust the brakes afterwards on a set of Shimano Saint brakes. The technique and tools required are broadly the same across most disc brake models and manufacturers. By following simple steps and having everything ready before you start the job, replacing your disc brake pads and tuning the brakes afterwards can be easy and will be beneficial to your riding.
