FAQs

How do I replace the brake cartridges?

Unscrew the old cartridge from the brake shoe. Insert the new cartridge and tighten it securely.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a hex key (allen wrench) to tighten the fixing bolts and possibly a tool to adjust cable tension.

How often should I replace the brake pads?

Replace the pads when the wear grooves disappear or the pad material is worn down significantly.

Can I use these brake shoes on carbon rims?

These brake shoes are designed for use with alloy rims. Always check the brake pad packaging for rim material compatibility.

Are these brake shoes compatible with Shimano brakes?

No, these brake shoes are designed for Campagnolo brake systems.

How can I improve braking in wet conditions?

Consider using a brake pad compound specifically designed for wet weather.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel weak or spongy.

Check brake cable tension and adjust as needed. Inspect the brake pads for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure proper rim cleaning.

Brakes squealing.

Clean the brake pads and rim surface. Ensure proper alignment. If squealing persists, consider using a different compound cartridge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Ensure the brake shoes are correctly aligned with the rim surface. Tighten the fixing bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque.

Care: Regularly inspect the brake pads for wear and tear. Replace them when the grooves in the pad surface disappear or the pad material is significantly worn. Clean the rims with a suitable cleaner to remove dirt and grime.
