Shimano Alfine BR-S7000 Disc Brake Set J-Kit

The Shimano Alfine BR-S7000 disc brake set perfect for your city bike

The Shimano Alfine BR-S7000 brake set was specially designed for City bikes with internally geared hubs. It is characterised by an attractive design and an excellent price-performance ratio. The BL-S7000 brake levers come in a 3-finger length and are, unlike their predecessors, I-Spec II compatible. The BR-S7000 are just as easy to bleed as other Shimano calipers thanks to One Way Bleeding.

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.
