Service Instructions

Shimano SM-PM60 is a power modulator designed to enhance braking control and performance on compatible Shimano brake systems, particularly the BR-F700 brake system. With the SM-PM60 installed, the user can expect improved braking modulation and increased cable stroke at the brake lever within a specific range of braking force.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Enhanced Braking Control: The power modulator allows for more precise and controlled braking, making it easier to modulate the braking force, especially in situations where fine adjustments are needed.

  • Increased Cable Stroke: The device increases the cable stroke at the brake lever, providing a longer and more linear braking feel. This can be particularly beneficial for riders who prefer a more progressive and predictable braking response.

Install the SM-PM60 power modulator to the BL-F700 brake lever as
shown in the illustration.
When the brakes are applied, the outer casing at the V-Brake
end will move about 10 mm toward the brake lever, so make
sure there is enough excess length in the outer casing for this
to happen.
Install the power modulator in a position where it will not
interfere with the brakes when they are applied.

Installing the SM-PM60
The power modulator is a device that makes it easier to control
braking by increasing the cable stroke at the brake lever within
a certain constant range of braking force.
If the effective operating range of the power modulator is
exceeded, the brake will operate as a normal V-Brake
(sensitive and powerful). In that case, the brakes may operate
more powerfully than intended and may cause the wheel to
lock up. Therefore it is essential that you fully understand and
test the performance of the power modulator before use.
The power modulator is not equipped with a function to
prevent the wheel from locking up.
