Product Information
Full details
The SwissStop Disc 32 C organic brake pads are designed for competitive cyclists and commuters using SRAM HRD or Level hydraulic systems who prioritize smooth, modulated stopping power. These pads utilize a high-performance composite blend of Kevlar, ceramic, brass, and resin to provide consistent bite in both wet and dry weather conditions; however, users should note that as an organic compound, they may wear faster than full-metallic alternatives under extreme mud or heavy debris conditions.

FAQs
Are these pads sold as a set for the whole bike?
No, each pack contains one pair of pads, which is sufficient for one wheel. You will need to purchase two packs to service both the front and rear brakes.
Are these compatible with standard SRAM Level T brakes?
These pads are specifically designed for Level Ultimate and TLM models. Check your specific caliper model number to confirm compatibility.
Do I need to sand my rotors before installing these?
While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to clean the rotors with isopropyl alcohol to remove old pad residue, which helps the new pads bed in faster.
How can I tell when the pads are worn out?
Check the thickness of the pad material regularly. If the material thickness is less than 0.5mm, it is time to replace them for safety reasons.
Can I use these for downhill mountain biking?
While they provide great power, organic pads are primarily designed for road, gravel, and XC use. For sustained, aggressive downhill heat, metallic pads may offer better fade resistance.
Troubleshooting
Brakes feel spongy after installation
Ensure the system was properly bled and that no air remains in the hydraulic lines after swapping the pads.
Brakes are making a squealing noise
Verify that the pads are properly bedded in. If the noise persists, check the rotor for contamination or glazing and clean it with brake-specific cleaner.
Pads rubbing against the rotor
Re-center the brake caliper over the rotor and ensure the pistons are fully retracted before inserting the new pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Disc 32 C is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic brake maintenance. Ensure the brake rotor is thoroughly cleaned with an isopropyl alcohol-based cleaner before installing new pads to prevent contamination. The pads are specifically compatible with:
- SRAM Red eTap AXS (Gen. 1 'Mono-Bloc' caliper)
- SRAM eTap HRD and Red 22 HRD (B1)
- SRAM Force 22 HRD (B1), Force 1 HRD
- SRAM Rival 22 HRD (B1), Rival 1 HRD
- SRAM Apex 1 HRD
- S-700 HRD (B1)
- Level Ultimate and TLM (2016-2019 models)
After installation, perform a bed-in procedure by executing several controlled stops from moderate speed to ensure the pad material transfers evenly to the rotor surface.
