Product Information

Full details

These Sinter Green s2032 Disc Brake Pads are for adult cyclists seeking extreme braking performance and control, especially in demanding downhill or aggressive riding conditions. Their key benefit is consistent, powerful stopping across a wide temperature range, offering racers and enthusiasts confidence. A caveat is that they are specifically designed for certain Avid, SRAM, and Trickstuff calipers, requiring careful compatibility checks.

FAQs

Are these brake pads suitable for casual riding?

While they offer excellent performance, their primary design is for extreme braking in demanding conditions. For casual riding, other compounds might offer longer life or quieter operation, but these will still function effectively.

How long do Sinter Green s2032 brake pads typically last?

Pad lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style, terrain, and weather conditions. The Kevlar reinforcement contributes to durability, but aggressive riding will naturally reduce their lifespan compared to lighter use.

Can I use these pads with any type of brake rotor?

These pads are designed to work with most standard metallic or composite brake rotors. However, ensure your rotors are clean, true, and compatible with your brake system.

What is the difference between the Green series and other Sinter brake pads?

The Green series is specifically formulated for extreme braking performance across a wide range of temperatures, utilizing an advanced organic compound with ceramic and Kevlar for enhanced power, control, and durability.

How do I perform the bedding-in process?

Find a moderate incline and ride down it, applying steady brake pressure to slow your descent repeatedly. Then, on flat ground, perform several hard stops from a moderate speed without locking the wheels. This transfers material to the rotor for optimal performance.

What does 's2032 Organic Compound' mean?

It refers to the specific formulation of the brake pad material, which is organic-based but enhanced with advanced components like ceramic particles and Kevlar fibers to achieve superior friction, heat resistance, and durability.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel weak or spongy

Ensure the brake pads have been properly bedded-in. Check for air in the brake line or a worn brake rotor. Clean rotors and pads.

Brakes are noisy (squealing or grinding)

Confirm proper pad installation and rotor condition. Contamination on the pads or rotors can cause noise; clean with brake cleaner. Ensure the bedding-in process was completed correctly.

Brakes are not engaging at all

Verify that the pads are correctly installed and making contact with the rotor. Check the brake lever's hydraulic pressure and for any leaks in the brake line.

Reduced braking performance after heavy use

This could indicate overheating. Allow the brakes to cool. Ensure the pads and rotors are clean and the bedding-in process was adequate for high-demand use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extreme braking performance across diverse temperature conditions.
  • Superior control and modulation for aggressive riding.
  • Durable construction with Kevlar for extended lifespan.
  • Ceramic particles provide immediate and strong bite.
  • Reduced noise and vibration for smoother braking.

Cons

  • Specific caliper compatibility required (Avid, certain SRAM, Trickstuff).
  • Organic compound may wear faster than metallic pads in extremely wet or muddy conditions.
  • Requires careful installation to ensure proper function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Before purchasing, verify that your brake calipers are listed in the compatibility guide. These pads are designed for:

  • Avid: Elixir 7 Trail, Elixir 9 Trail, XO Trail
  • SRAM: G2 RSC, G2 Ultimate, Guide R, Guide RS, Guide RSC, Guide T, Guide Ultimate
  • Trickstuff: Direttissima/C42

Setup:

  1. Ensure your brake system is clean and free of contamination.
  2. Carefully remove the old brake pads from your caliper.
  3. Install the new Sinter Green s2032 pads, ensuring they are seated correctly.
  4. Reassemble the caliper and check that the brake lever feels firm.
  5. Bedding-in: A proper bedding-in process is crucial for optimal performance. Find a moderate incline and ride down it, applying steady pressure to the brakes to slow your descent without coming to a complete stop. Repeat this process 15-20 times. Then, find a flat area and perform several hard, but not locking, stops from a moderate speed. This transfers a thin layer of pad material to the rotor, creating a consistent braking surface.

Care:

  • Regularly clean your rotors and pads with a dedicated brake cleaner to remove dirt and debris.
  • Inspect pads for wear and replace them when the organic material is significantly worn down.
  • Avoid using oily or greasy substances near the braking surfaces, as this can contaminate the pads and rotors, significantly reducing performance.
