"The new absoluteBLACK Piston Press (€35.95 / $41.95) lets you quickly reset your pistons safely and evenly. And it looks good doing it, with a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer body and titanium hardware, because why not? Why use this? Maybe you need to make some space for fresh pads. Or maybe your brake pads have worn unevenly, or your caliper isn't perfectly centered over the rotor, leading to one piston being more extended than the other,"
"But absoluteBLACK says it's also sometimes because standard (and even some titanium) bolts and washers have rough surfaces that can twist, drag, and slide as you tighten them. And then your careful alignment goes to crap. Their solution is to apply PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coatings to a titanium bolt and washer, creating an ultra-slick interface. They say you can torque them down without them sliding out of position, leaving your calipers where you want and speeding up installation."
absoluteBLACK introduced three small components aimed at simplifying brake caliper mounting, adjustment, and piston resets. The hydraulic Piston Press (€35.95 / $41.95) uses a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer body and titanium hardware to safely and evenly reset pistons, making room for new pads or correcting uneven piston extension. Ti flat-mount caliper bolts paired with ultra-low friction PVD-coated washers reduce sliding and preserve alignment during torquing when frame or fork mounts are imperfect. The coated titanium interface allows bolts to be tightened without shifting caliper position, speeding installations and maintaining precise alignment. Available finishes include Grey and Gold.
