FAQs

How do I bed in the new brake pads?

Perform several moderate braking applications from a moderate speed. Avoid hard stops initially. Increase braking pressure gradually over several rides.

How often should I replace the brake pads?

Replacement frequency depends on usage and riding conditions. Inspect the pads regularly and replace when the material is worn down to the backing plate.

Can I use these brake pads on any bike?

These pads are compatible with the Shimano Deore models and Clarks systems listed in the compatibility section.

What should I use to clean the rotors?

Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the rotors. Avoid using solvents or degreasers that may contaminate the pads.

What is the lifespan of sintered brake pads?

Sintered pads generally last longer than organic pads, but their lifespan is dependent on riding style, terrain, and weather conditions.

My brakes are squealing. What can I do?

Squealing can be caused by contamination, improper bedding-in, or misalignment. Clean the rotors, bed in the pads, and check the alignment.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel weak or spongy

Check for air in the brake lines, and bleed the brakes if necessary. Also, ensure the pads are properly bedded in.

Brakes are noisy

Ensure the rotors are clean. Consider the bedding-in process, and check the alignment of the brake pads within the caliper.

Brake pads wearing unevenly

Check caliper alignment and ensure the rotor is straight. Replace pads when necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional stopping power in wet and dry conditions.
  • Long-lasting performance due to sintered construction.
  • Increased carbon content for improved heat resistance.
  • Wide compatibility with various brake systems.

Cons

  • May wear out faster than organic pads under normal riding conditions.
  • Can be noisier than some other pad types, particularly when new.
  • Require proper bedding-in for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These brake pads are compatible with a range of Shimano Deore models (BR-M515, M475, M525, M465, M495), as well as Clarks S2, Draco, Dorado, Orion, Auriga, Aquila, HDC300, TRP, Spyre, and Hylex brake systems.

Installation:

  1. Remove the old brake pads from the caliper.
  2. Clean the caliper and rotor with isopropyl alcohol.
  3. Insert the new VRX811 brake pads into the caliper.
  4. Reinstall the wheel and pump the brake lever to center the pads.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the pads for wear.
  • Clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol to remove any contaminants.
  • Avoid touching the braking surface of the pads with your bare hands, as this can contaminate them.
