FAQs

Are these brake pads compatible with alloy rims?

No, the SwissStop Flash EVO Black Prince brake pads are specifically designed for use with carbon rims only.

How long do the brake pads last?

Pad life depends on riding conditions, frequency of use, and rider weight. Regular inspection is recommended, but you should expect to replace them periodically.

How do I bed in the brake pads?

After installing the pads, perform several controlled braking applications, gradually increasing pressure to seat the pads against the rim surface effectively. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for more specific guidance.

What should I clean the rims and pads with?

Use a dedicated rim cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to clean the rims and pads. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.

What is the key benefit of these pads?

What is the difference between Flash EVO and FlashPro pads?

Each Flash EVO pad is 0.75mm narrower than a FlashPro pad, offering more clearance for wider rims.

Troubleshooting

Poor braking performance or long stopping distances.

Check if the pads are correctly aligned with the rim. Ensure the pads and rims are clean and free of contaminants. Verify the bedding-in process was correctly performed. Consider replacing worn pads.

Squealing or noisy brakes.

Check the alignment of the brake pads. Ensure the rim surface is clean. Clean the brake pads using isopropyl alcohol. If the noise persists, consider lightly sanding the pad surface or replacing the pads.

Inconsistent braking feel or modulation.

Check for any contamination on the brake pads or rim surface. Ensure the brake levers are properly adjusted. Check the brake cable tension. Inspect the pads for uneven wear and replace if necessary.
