FAQs

Are these pads suitable for mountain biking?

The Sinter 02 Red Series pads are best suited for city, touring, and rental bikes. For aggressive mountain biking or downhill riding, performance brake pads designed for higher heat and more demanding conditions might be a better choice.

How do I know when to replace my brake pads?

Replace your brake pads when the friction material (the red part) is worn down to approximately 1-2mm or shows signs of significant wear. Inspect them regularly.

What does 'Shimano B Type' compatibility mean?

This refers to a specific caliper and pad shape designed by Shimano. It's crucial to confirm that your disc brake caliper uses the 'B Type' mounting system for these pads to fit correctly.

Will these pads work with hydraulic disc brakes?

Yes, these pads are designed for Shimano B Type *disc* brakes, which are commonly hydraulic. However, confirm your brake model for exact compatibility.

How do I bed in new brake pads?

To bed in new pads, find a safe, open area. Accelerate to a moderate speed and brake firmly but without locking up the wheels. Repeat this 10-20 times. Allow the brakes to cool completely. This process helps transfer a thin layer of pad material to the rotor, ensuring optimal performance.

Can I use these pads in wet weather?

Yes, these pads offer consistent performance in various conditions, including wet weather. However, like most organic pads, their stopping power may be slightly reduced when wet, and they may require more frequent cleaning.

What is the advantage of ceramic particles in brake pads?

Ceramic particles help to provide a softer initial bite for smoother braking and also contribute to reducing overall pad wear, leading to longer pad life and improved durability.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel spongy or weak

Ensure the brake pads are properly bedded in. Check for air in the brake line or a worn brake rotor. Verify that the brake pads are correctly installed and compatible with your braking system.

Brakes are making noise (squealing or grinding)

Clean the brake rotor and pads with a disc brake cleaner. Ensure the pads are not worn down to the metal backing. Check that the brake caliper is aligned correctly with the rotor.

Inconsistent braking performance

Check for contamination on the pads or rotor. Ensure the pads are not overheating; consider if the riding conditions are exceeding the intended use for organic pads. Verify proper installation and compatibility.

Rapid pad wear

Ensure the riding conditions are suitable for organic pads. Avoid excessive prolonged braking or extreme conditions if possible. Check for rotor damage or contamination, which can accelerate wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Smooth and quiet braking operation.
  • Consistent and predictable stopping power.
  • Good modulation for easy speed control.
  • Enhanced durability due to ceramic particles and robust fiber blend.
  • Reliable performance in various weather and riding conditions.
  • Excellent value for everyday cycling needs.

Cons

  • May not provide the highest level of stopping power for aggressive riding.
  • Organic compounds can wear faster than metallic pads under extreme conditions.
  • Performance may degrade slightly in very wet or muddy conditions compared to specialized pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These Sinter 02 Red Series brake pads are designed to be compatible with Shimano B Type Disc Brakes. Always verify your brake system to ensure compatibility before installation. Refer to the official compatibility guide for detailed information.

Setup: Installation typically involves removing the wheel, accessing the brake caliper, and replacing the old pads with the new ones. Ensure the new pads are seated correctly and that the retaining pin or clip is secured. After installation, it's recommended to bed in the new pads by performing several moderate stops to ensure optimal performance.

Care: Keep the brake pads and rotors clean. Avoid direct contact with lubricants or solvents. If the pads become contaminated, cleaning may not be fully effective, and replacement might be necessary. Periodically inspect the pads for wear and replace them when the friction material is significantly diminished to maintain braking effectiveness and prevent rotor damage.
