FAQs

How often should I replace the brake pads?

Brake pad lifespan varies depending on riding conditions and style. Inspect the pads regularly and replace them when the pad material is worn down to the wear indicator or minimum thickness.

Are these pads suitable for all types of riding?

These pads are suitable for general riding conditions, including cross-country and trail riding. They may wear faster in extreme conditions, such as downhill riding or wet/muddy environments. For aggressive riding, consider a different pad compound.

What tools do I need to install these brake pads?

You'll typically need a hex key (Allen wrench) to remove the caliper and potentially a small screwdriver to manipulate the pads and spring.

Can I use these pads with different brands of rotors?

Yes, these pads are compatible with most disc brake rotors. Ensure that the rotor is in good condition and is free from contamination.

How do I bed in the new brake pads?

Perform several controlled stops from a moderate speed. Avoid hard braking initially to allow the pads to seat properly against the rotor. Repeat until braking performance improves.

What should I do if my brakes are contaminated?

Clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol. If the pads are contaminated, you may need to replace them.

What is the spring for?

The spring helps to retract the brake pads from the rotor when you release the brake lever, ensuring smooth operation and preventing drag.

Troubleshooting

Brakes squealing

Clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure pads are properly bedded-in. Check for contamination on the pads or rotors.

Poor braking performance

Check for pad wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the brake system is properly adjusted. Inspect rotors for damage or contamination.

Brakes feel spongy

Check brake fluid levels (if applicable) and bleed the brakes to remove air in the system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved noise reduction for quieter braking.
  • Enhanced 'bite' for increased stopping power.
  • Good performance in various riding conditions.
  • Easy to install and replace.

Cons

  • May wear faster than sintered pads under heavy use or in wet/muddy conditions.
  • Performance can degrade if pads overheat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: Ensure your brake system is compatible with Shimano Deore BR-M515/M475/M525/M465/M495, or Tektro Auriga Comp./Dracom Moto Aquila/HDC-300/MOTA.
  2. Installation:
  • Remove the old brake pads.
  • Insert the new Clarks pads into the caliper.
  • Ensure the spring is correctly positioned.
  • Reassemble the caliper.
  1. Bedding-in: After installation, carefully bed in the new pads by performing several controlled stops from a moderate speed. Avoid hard braking initially to allow the pads to seat properly against the rotor.
  2. Care:
  • Inspect pads regularly for wear.
  • Clean the brake rotors with isopropyl alcohol to remove any contaminants that may affect performance.
  • Avoid contaminating pads with oil or grease, as this can severely reduce braking effectiveness.
