Shimano Deore BR-M6000 + BL-T6000 Trekking Disc Brake J-Kit

Shimano Deore BR-M6000 + BL-T6000 disc brake - ideal for City & Touring bikes

The Shimano Deore T6000 disc brake was designed for City & Touring bikes. It consists of a Mountain bike brake caliper and a City & Touring specific brake lever. The BL-T6000 has a 3-finger brake lever with reach adjustment and I-Spec II construction, i.e. it can be combined with a shifter. Reliable braking performance is provided by the BR-M6000 caliper's resin pistons, equipped with Ice Technology for optimum thermal management and easy One-Way bleeding for maintenance.

Technology:

I-Spec II
I-Spec II describes a variant of the connection between the brake lever and the shift lever on MTB or, more precisely, flatbar gears from Shimano. This type of mount makes for a tidy cockpit as it reduces the number of clamps needed. On some models it is also possible to adjust the shift lever both horizontally and vertically in relation to the brake lever. Then there is 12 mm of adjustment travel in the longitudinal direction and/or up to 15° of rotation - for optimum ergonomic adaptation to your riding style, seat position and anatomy.

One-Way Bleeding
One Way Bleeding is a technique used on Shimano calipers that facilitates brake bleeding. The hose routing has been optimised so that no air bubbles remain in the brake calliper. In combination with the funnel, the brake can be bled cleanly and easily.

J-Kit
J-Kit is a simple line connection system for hydraulic brakes from Shimano, so that you can install your brakes quickly and easily. The brake hose does not come connected to the brake to facilitate routing of the hose in the frame. The brake hose is already filled with oil in the J-Kit and sealed with a thin membrane. There is a small pin in the J-Kit brake lever that pierces this diaphragm during assembly to allow oil to flow.
