FAQs

Are these pads suitable for all weather conditions?

These pads offer consistent performance. The medium compound works well in various conditions, but extremely muddy or wet environments may lead to faster wear compared to harder compounds.

How much better are these pads compared to stock Shimano pads?

They offer a 15% improvement in performance compared to Shimano G03A pads, providing better stopping power and control.

How do I know if these pads will fit my bike?

You need to check if your brake caliper model is listed in the compatibility section. The pads are designed for specific Shimano, TRP, and Tektro models. Refer to your brake manufacturer's specifications if unsure.

What does 'D TYPE' in the product name signify?

'D TYPE' refers to the specific shape and mounting standard of the brake pad, ensuring it fits correctly into compatible brake calipers.

How often should I replace these brake pads?

Pad replacement frequency depends on riding style, terrain, and conditions. Inspect pads regularly for wear and replace them when the friction material is worn down to the backing plate or near it.

Can I use these pads with carbon rotors?

These pads are designed for standard metal brake rotors. Using them with carbon rotors is not recommended as it can damage the rotor surface and affect braking performance. Always use pads recommended for your rotor type.

Troubleshooting

Squealing or noisy brakes

Ensure rotors are clean and free of contaminants. Check pad alignment and ensure they are properly seated. Bedding in the pads thoroughly can also resolve noise issues.

Reduced braking power

Inspect pads for excessive wear. Clean the brake rotor with isopropyl alcohol. Check for any air in the brake lines, which might require bleeding the brake system.

Pads not fitting correctly

Double-check the compatibility list against your specific brake caliper model. Ensure you are using the correct pad shape for your system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Ensure your brake caliper is listed among the compatible models: Shimano BR-MT520, Saint BR-M810, Saint BR-M820, SLX BR-M7120, XT BR-M8020, XT BR-M8120, XTR BR-M9120, Zee BR-M640; TRP Quadiem, Quadiem SL, Slate T4; and Tektro HD-E725, HD-M735, HD-M745, HD-M750. Refer to your brake manufacturer's documentation to confirm pad shape.

Setup: Installation follows standard disc brake pad replacement procedures. Ensure the wheel is removed, the old pads are carefully extracted, and the new pads are inserted correctly. It is recommended to bed in new pads for optimal performance by performing several moderate stops from a moderate speed, gradually increasing intensity. Clean rotor surfaces before installation.

Care: Keep brake rotors clean from lubricants and contaminants. Inspect pads regularly for wear. If braking performance degrades, check pad wear and rotor condition. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning, opting for isopropyl alcohol on rotors and a dry or slightly damp cloth for pad surfaces if necessary.
