Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines for installation and maintenance:
- Compatibility: These pads are compatible with the following SRAM systems: Apex 1, Force 1, Force 22, Level TLM, Level Ultimate, Red eTap AXS, Rival 1, Rival 22, and S-700 HRD.
- Installation: Always clean the brake rotor with isopropyl alcohol before installing new pads to prevent contamination.
- Bedding-in: After installation, perform 15-20 moderate-speed stops on a flat surface to properly heat the pad surface and transfer material to the rotor.
- Care: Avoid using cleaning sprays or oils near the brake calipers, as contaminants can ruin the pad material permanently. If the pads become glazed due to extreme heat, lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to restore the friction layer.
