FAQs

How often should I replace the brake blocks?

Brake block lifespan depends on usage and conditions. Inspect the brake blocks regularly and replace them when they show significant wear or if braking performance declines.

What type of brake cleaner should I use?

Use a brake-specific cleaner designed for use on bicycle brake pads. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the pads.

Are these brake blocks compatible with all types of rims?

These brake blocks are compatible with rims designed for V-brakes. Ensure your rims are clean and free of any debris before installation.

How do I align the brake blocks correctly?

Position the brake blocks so that they contact the rim surface evenly. Use the cup and dish washer system to secure alignment and ensure smooth braking contact.

Can I use these brake blocks on my road bike?

If your road bike is equipped with V-brakes, then yes. These brake blocks are compatible with any V-type brakes with an Allen bolt fixing.

What should I do if my brakes feel spongy?

Spongy brakes could indicate air in the brake lines or worn brake pads. Check the brake pads for wear and replace them if needed. Consult a professional mechanic for further inspection of the brake system.

Troubleshooting

Brakes squealing during use.

Clean the brake blocks and rim surface with a suitable cleaner. Check alignment and make adjustments as needed. If squealing persists, the brake blocks may need replacement.

Poor braking performance in wet conditions.

Ensure the brake blocks are aligned correctly. Clean the brake pads and rims to remove any dirt or debris that may reduce friction. Consider replacing the brake blocks if they are worn.

Brake blocks wearing out quickly.

Check and ensure proper alignment of the brake blocks. Avoid excessive use of the brakes. Clean and inspect the brake pads regularly for any embedded grit.
