FAQs
Are these pads compatible with V-brakes?
These pads are specifically designed for cantilever systems; they may not be compatible with the specific mounting hardware required for V-brakes.
Does this package include pads for both wheels?
This package includes one pair of brake shoes and pads, which is enough for one brake caliper.
How do I know when the pads are worn out?
Most pads feature wear indicator lines or grooves. When these grooves have disappeared, it is time to replace the pads.
Can I use these on carbon fiber rims?
These pads are intended for standard metal rims; consult your rim manufacturer before using them on carbon fiber surfaces.
Do I need special tools to install them?
Usually, a standard hex key or wrench is all that is required to loosen and tighten the brake shoe mounting hardware.
Troubleshooting
Brakes make a loud squealing noise
Adjust the brake pad alignment to include a slight 'toe-in' so the front of the pad contacts the rim before the back.
Poor stopping power in wet weather
Clean the bike rim braking surface thoroughly to remove road film, oil, or residue that prevents the pad from gripping.
Pad rubbing against the tire
Loosen the mounting bolt and slide the pad downward until it sits entirely on the braking track of the metal rim.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Ashima brake pads involves loosening the mounting bolt on your existing cantilever brake arms, sliding out the old pads, and inserting the Ashima units. Once seated, adjust the pad height so it contacts the braking surface of the rim—avoiding contact with the tire sidewall—and tighten the bolt securely. To maintain your brakes, periodically wipe down the braking surface of your rims with isopropyl alcohol to remove oil and grime, and inspect the pad grooves for embedded debris. If the wear indicators on the pads are no longer visible, replace the units immediately to ensure continued safety.
