FAQs
How often should I replace the brake pads?
The lifespan of brake pads depends on usage. Inspect them regularly for wear. Replace when the pad material is worn down close to the backing plate.
Are these pads compatible with hydraulic brake systems?
These pads are specifically designed for mechanical disc brake systems. They are not recommended for hydraulic systems.
What is the ‘bedding in’ process?
Bedding in is a process of using the brakes gently several times to allow the pad material to transfer to the rotor, improving braking performance and reducing noise.
What should I use to clean my rotors?
Use a disc brake cleaner to remove any contaminants and ensure optimal braking performance.
My brakes are squealing. What should I do?
Check for contamination on the rotor or pads. Ensure the pads are properly aligned. If the squealing persists, consider replacing the pads.
Can I use these pads in wet conditions?
Yes, but be aware that braking performance may be slightly reduced compared to dry conditions. Adjust your riding style accordingly.
Troubleshooting
Brakes feel spongy or lack stopping power.
Check for air in the brake lines (if applicable to your system) or replace the brake pads if worn. Ensure the rotor is clean.
Brakes are noisy.
Check for contamination on the rotor or pads. Ensure the pads are properly aligned. Consider replacing the pads if the noise persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure compatibility with your specific disc brake system (Carrera Impel is-1 scooter, Clarks CMD-8, CMD-11, CMD-16). Installation typically involves removing the wheel, removing the old pads, inserting the new pads, and reassembling. Always consult your bike or scooter's manual for specific instructions.
Care: Regularly inspect your brake pads for wear. Clean your brake rotors with a dedicated disc brake cleaner to remove any contaminants that may affect performance. Avoid touching the braking surface of the pads with your bare hands, as this can introduce oils that reduce braking performance. Always bed in new brake pads correctly to ensure optimal performance. This involves several gentle braking applications to allow the pads to properly seat against the rotor.
