What you need
Steps
Remove the old brake lever, cable and caliper from the bike. Keep the handlebar clean and check the new lever fits your bar diameter.
Bolt the rotor to the rear hub with the six Torx or hex bolts. Tighten them evenly in a star pattern so the rotor sits flat.
Mount the caliper to the frame using the correct adapter for your rotor size. Leave the bolts slightly loose so you can centre it later.
Fit the new lever to the handlebar and set the angle so your wrist stays straight when you pull it. Tighten the clamp bolt.
Run the hydraulic hose from the lever to the caliper along the frame. Use cable ties and keep it clear of the tyre and chain.
Trim the hose to length if needed, then fit the olive and insert into the caliper. Tighten the compression nut firmly.
Bleed the system with the kit and mineral oil until no air bubbles come out. Close the bleed port and pump the lever.
Centre the caliper over the rotor, then tighten the mounting bolts evenly. Spin the wheel and check for rubbing.
Squeeze the lever hard several times to bed in the pads. Test the brake at walking speed before riding normally.
Tips and common mistakes
Never let oil or brake fluid touch the rotor or pads, as it ruins braking power.
Wear gloves and work in a ventilated area, since hydraulic fluid irritates skin and eyes.
Check the hose routing after a few rides, as it can shift and rub the frame.
Questions
Do I need to bleed a new Logan brake set?
Often yes. New sets can trap air in the hose, so a short bleed gives a firm lever and full stopping power.
Can I fit this brake to any bicycle?
You need disc brake mounts on the frame and hub. Many older Indian standard frames need an adapter or cannot take a rear disc at all.
How do I know the rotor is straight?
Spin the wheel and watch the gap at the caliper. If the rotor wobbles, loosen the bolts and retighten evenly or straighten it gently.
