Product Information
Full details
Designed for road cyclists using Campagnolo braking systems, these Clarks 52mm brake pad inserts provide a reliable, rim-friendly alternative for replacing worn-out pads. They are ideal for riders looking to maintain consistent modulation and quiet performance during training or competitive rides. The primary caveat is that these are specifically engineered for compatibility with select Campagnolo components, so they will not fit standard Shimano or SRAM brake cartridges.

FAQs
Are these pads compatible with carbon rims?
No, these pads are intended for use with aluminum wheel rims only.
How many pads come in the package?
Each pack contains one pair (2 inserts total), enough for one brake caliper.
Do I need to replace the metal cartridge holder?
No, these are replacement inserts only and are designed to slide into your existing cartridge holders.
Are these suitable for wet weather riding?
Yes, the compound is designed to provide reliable stopping power in varied road conditions, including light rain.
How do I know when the pads are worn out?
Most modern brake cartridges have a wear line; if the pad surface is flush with this line or shows uneven wear, it is time for a replacement.
Troubleshooting
Brake pad vibrates or makes noise
Ensure the pad is seated fully into the cartridge and that the set screw is tightened securely.
Weak stopping power
Clean the braking surface of your wheel rims with a degreaser and lightly sand the pad surface if it has become glazed.
Pad does not fit the cartridge
Verify that your brake system is indeed a Campagnolo Record, Athena, or Chorus model; these inserts are not universal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward as these are designed as drop-in replacements for your existing Campagnolo brake holders. First, loosen the set screw holding the old insert, slide the worn pad out, and clean the cartridge channel to remove any debris. Slide the new Clarks insert in, ensuring the orientation matches the rotation of the wheel, and retighten the set screw securely. Compatibility is strictly limited to Campagnolo Record, Athena, and Chorus series cartridges; check your brake arm markings before purchase. For maintenance, periodically inspect the surface for embedded road grit or aluminum shards to prevent rim scoring. Keep the braking surface clean with isopropyl alcohol to maintain peak performance.
