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.

Happy customer

It works — bought one for my friend, too.

My friend and I are used to great brake feel on dirt bikes, and the SRAM system was not to our liking. Lots of free travel in the lever before the piston actuated. Couldn’t tune it or make it better until I discovered this thing. It works! I appreciate Crest just about every time I pull the lever!

Thanks for the review! Glad it worked well for you!

Quick and easy

Just used the Crest Brake Advancement tool. It takes the guess work out of setting the brake pads closer to the caliper to eliminate the extra throw of the lever. It was about as easy as it gets.

Thanks for the review!
