Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pads compatible with all hydraulic disc brakes?

These pads are specifically designed for compatible Tr!ckstuff systems. Please verify your caliper model matches the product specifications.

How do I know when the pads are worn out?

Pads should be replaced when the friction material thickness reaches less than 0.5mm to ensure consistent performance and protect your rotors.

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

It is not required to sand the rotors, but it is highly recommended to clean them thoroughly with brake cleaner to remove old material.

Can these be used for wet-weather riding?

Yes, the Power compound provides reliable performance in a variety of conditions, though pad wear may accelerate in muddy or gritty environments.

How long does the bedding-in process take?

Typically, 10-15 controlled stops from a moderate speed are sufficient to transfer enough material to the rotor for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting

Brakes are making a squealing sound

Check for rotor contamination, clean the rotors thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol, and ensure the pads are bedded-in correctly.

Reduced stopping power

Inspect pads for remaining thickness and check for signs of glazing on the pad surface; if glazed, lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper.

Inconsistent lever feel

Check for air in the hydraulic lines and perform a system bleed if necessary, while also ensuring the caliper pistons are moving evenly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional braking force for aggressive riding
  • Precise control and modulation
  • Reliable performance on steep descents
  • Minimal brake noise under load

Cons

  • May require more frequent inspection than economy pads
  • Performance-oriented compound can lead to faster wear
  • Best suited for experienced riders who push their equipment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, proper installation is essential. Always clean your disc rotors with a dedicated brake cleaner before installing new pads to remove any existing residue or contaminants. After installation, it is critical to perform a proper bedding-in procedure by executing a series of controlled stops from moderate speed to transfer a thin layer of pad material onto the rotor surface. For maintenance, keep the braking surface free of oils, greases, and cleaning agents. If the brakes become contaminated, it is best to replace the pads immediately, as the high-performance compound can absorb impurities that degrade stopping power.
