FAQs

How often should I replace the brake pads?

Replacement frequency depends on riding conditions and usage. Inspect the pads regularly and replace them when the material is worn down to the wear indicator or when performance degrades.

Can I use these pads with any Shimano brake system?

No, these pads are compatible with specific Shimano brake models. Check the compatibility list in this guide or on the product packaging.

What is the difference between resin and metallic brake pads?

Resin pads offer quieter operation and better modulation, while metallic pads provide more aggressive braking and are more durable in wet conditions.

How do I bed in new brake pads?

Perform several moderate braking applications from a moderate speed to bed in the pads, avoiding hard stops until they are fully seated.

Can I mix different types of brake pads?

It is not recommended to mix different types of brake pads (resin and metallic) within the same brake caliper.

Why are my brakes squealing?

Squealing can be caused by contamination, misalignment, or worn pads. Clean the rotor and pads, ensure proper alignment, and check pad wear.

What should I do if my brakes overheat?

Overheating can reduce braking performance. Avoid prolonged braking on steep descents and allow the brakes to cool down if they overheat.

Troubleshooting

Brakes are noisy.

Clean the rotor and pads with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure the pads are correctly aligned.

Braking power is weak.

Check for pad wear and replace if necessary. Bleed the brake system to remove air. Ensure the rotor is not contaminated.

Brakes feel spongy.

Bleed the brake system to remove air bubbles.
