Full details

Using a high-quality organic compound, these pads offer a smooth, predictable feel suitable for varied trail conditions, though they are best suited for riders who prefer moderate maintenance intervals over extreme, high-heat downhill endurance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pads compatible with all hydraulic disc brakes?

These pads are specific to the R4148700 fitment. Always cross-reference your brake caliper model number with the manufacturer's compatibility list.

Can I use these pads for downhill racing?

These are primarily designed for cross-country riding. They may wear out prematurely under the extreme heat generated during downhill racing.

How do I know when to replace them?

Replace the pads when the friction material thickness drops below 1mm or if you notice significantly reduced stopping power.

Do I need to sand my rotors before installing new pads?

It is recommended to clean your rotors with isopropyl alcohol to remove old residue, which helps the new pads seat more effectively.

Do these pads come in a set for one wheel or two?

Each pack typically contains pads for one brake caliper.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel spongy or weak immediately after install

The pads may need to be properly bedded-in. Perform 10-15 controlled stops from medium speed to properly seat the pads against the rotor.

Constant rubbing or drag after installation

Ensure the retraction springs are seated correctly and the brake caliper is centered over the rotor.

Squealing noise when braking

Check the rotor for contaminants like oil or chain lubricant. Clean the rotor with isopropyl alcohol and ensure the pads are not glazed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent stopping power for cross-country use
  • Organic compound protects brake discs from premature wear
  • Includes retraction springs for easy installation
  • Provides a quiet and smooth braking experience

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme downhill or high-heat gravity racing
  • May wear out faster than metallic pads in wet or muddy conditions
  • Requires proper bedding-in procedure for optimal performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these pads, ensure your brake calipers are free of debris by wiping them down with a clean, dry cloth. Always remove the old pads carefully and inspect the caliper piston for any grime before inserting the new R4148700 pads along with the included retraction springs. After installation, perform a 'bed-in' process: find a safe, flat area and perform several controlled stops from moderate speed to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the disc. Avoid heavy braking for the first few miles to ensure the compound sets correctly. Store spare pads in a cool, dry place to prevent the organic compound from absorbing moisture.
