Ans:
It depends on models, currently only HDC300 is not adjustable. But there is "WS" version for short reach if it's not adjustable.
Ans:
Isotropy Alcohol is the best choice for cleaning Tektro disc brakes. It cuts through the mineral oil, grime, brake dust, dries quickly and leaves no residue.
Ans:
In most cases, this scenario is due to incorrect installation to the frame/fork or a lack of maintenance. Check to see if the calipers are properly bled and positioned correctly, the rotors are perfectly true and frame's suspension links are all in good condition. It is highly recommended that the mounting tabs on the frame and fork have been properly spot faced to ensure accurate alignment with the rotor. Because bicycles are designed to be light as possible, it is unavoidable to have small flex in the frames and wheels while riding. This small flex may be enough to make your rotor rub when you're coasting or pedaling. Depending on the riding conditions, disc brake calipers need cleaning and maintenance on a regular basis. Wet and muddy conditions will require a more frequent service interval than dry riding conditions. Also, inspect the disc brake pads for wear. Replace the pads when the pad material has worn to a thickness of 0.5mm or less.
Ans:
No! Due to the different actions within the shifters, the road lever can not use it with mountain bike front derailleur.
Ans:
No, Tektro disc brakes are designed to be used with only Tektro brand mineral oil. Tektro uses a special additive to increase the temperature range and red color for ease of identification.
Ans:
Yes, part number P423.11 is a special compound replacement brake pad specifically designed for use on carbon rims.

You can use the "Contact - Global Base" located on this site to find the distributor in your country and check with them to find the dealer shop near you.
Ans:
. You can find the instructions from the site of "Support - Technical Document"
. All Tektro products have service instructions included in the original box.
ANS:
Possible cause: insufficient oil volume in the system or still some air inside the system.
First make the master cylinder parallel to the ground, oil hose slightly pointing downward. And then perform the following steps until the brake lever feels solid.
1. Press the brake for about 20 times to help removing the air inside the system.
2. Open up the bleed port screw, repeat No.1. Then fill in with some mineral oil until 80-90% full.
3. According to our bleeding procedure to re-bleed the system.
Note: Be careful not to contaminate brake pad and rotor

Note: Be careful not to contaminate brake pad and rotor
Possible cause 2: If brake pad or rotor got contaminated by mineral oil.
Using Isotropy Alcohol to lightly clean rotor and changing to new brake pad. Bedding-in process is needed once you've changed the rotor and brake pad.
ANS:
Possible cause 1: Incorrect assembly of caliper on the bike frame
Reassemble the caliper on the frame and make sure the gap of both sides have around 0.3mm clearance.
Possible cause 2: Caliper piston
可能原因2，活塞凸出量太大
對策，用一字起子將活塞推回，過程中避免損傷煞皮；若難以推回至最底點，可半鬆蝶仔端的封口螺絲，再推活塞至最底。
