Brake lever pulls too far before the brakes engage? Different lever feel and contact point between front and rear brakes?
The Brake Pad Advancement Tool is the solution to limited adjustability of bicycle hydraulic disc brakes. The Brake Pad Advancement Tool allows you to adjust the brake pad contact point and lever throw quickly and easily without bleeding your brakes. Get the perfect lever feel every time!
The Brake Pad Advancement Tool works with all brands of hydraulic bicycle brakes and works by precisely advancing the brake pads towards the rotor which reduces the distance the brake lever pulls. For best results, your rotors must be true. See how to use it below.
Instructions are also available in PDF form here.
Each set includes:
- Rotor measure tool
- 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 mm spacers
Free shipping in the US.

Listen, this is such a simple tool, but it helps get your brakes absolutely dialed. Great product, just buy it. Works great on my Dominions with 2mm rotors.
Perfect tool for the bike enthusiast. Maintenance is a must, and getting the right tool to get the job done is key. Spend less time fixing and more time enjoying your hobby! Thank you, Crest Tool!
I appreciate a nice cheap way to dial in the feel of my new brakes which are SRAM Code R... I got the brakes bled at a local shop, but the bite was still too close to the grip. I used the Crest Tool, about 15 minutes on each brake, and they adjusted nicely.
Just some quick feedback.
The advancement tool works great.
All the play/throw in my SRAM rival levers that’s annoyed me for months has been resolved. It’ll be used every time I change pads which is often as i ride gravel it rains here constantly!!
What a nice tool to have.
Thank you.

Glad it worked well for you! Appreciate the review!
Probably my most favorite tool. I use it often between brake bleeds. I like it so much that I bought another set to give to my friend.
That's awesome!! You're a good friend! Appreciate the feedback.
