Pad spacer and mechanical disc brakes

Bicycles Asked on July 22, 2021

My bike, a Trek, has Tektro mechanical disc brakes. Do I need to insert a pad spacer when the wheel is removed to prevent the brake from locking if the lever is accidentally moved?

One Answer

No, mechanical disc brakes do not auto-compensate for pad wear like hydraulic brakes do. They will fully retract every time, pads or no pads.
