FAQs
Are these pads for the front or rear wheel?
These pads are universal for either wheel; however, each package contains only one pair, which covers one caliper.
Do I need to bed these pads in?
Yes, bedding in the pads is essential to ensure a proper layer of material is transferred to the rotor, which optimizes braking power.
Are these compatible with my SRAM Guide R brakes?
Yes, the Disc 31 C is fully compatible with the entire SRAM Guide series, including the R, RS, RSC, and Ultimate models.
How do I know when to replace them?
Replace the pads when the friction material thickness drops below 0.5mm.
Can I use these on my road bike?
These are specifically designed for the SRAM and Avid mountain bike calipers listed in the compatibility guide; check your caliper model number before purchasing.
Troubleshooting
Braking feels spongy or weak after installation
Ensure the pads have been properly bedded in and check the hydraulic system for air bubbles that may need bleeding.
Excessive noise during light braking
Verify the rotor is clean of oil or contaminants; if contaminated, clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol or replace if necessary.
