Product Information

Full details

The Jagwire Sport Semi-Metallic Disc Pads are designed for most riders seeking an upgrade over standard OEM brake pads. They offer a balanced performance, combining the quiet operation of resin pads with the extended life of metallic compounds, all at a great value. While highly versatile, they may not offer the extreme performance needed for professional racing in all conditions.

FAQs

Are these pads suitable for wet weather?

Sport Semi-Metallic pads offer decent performance in wet conditions but may not match specialized wet-weather pads. Performance typically improves once the rotor is dry.

How do I know when to replace my brake pads?

Inspect the pad material. If the friction material is worn down to less than 1mm thickness, or if it is significantly grooved or damaged, it's time for replacement.

What is 'bedding in' and why is it important?

Bedding in is the process of mating the pad material to the rotor surface. It ensures optimal performance and quiet operation. Typically involves a series of moderate stops from a moderate speed, allowing the brakes to cool in between.

Can I use these pads with carbon rotors?

These pads are designed for use with standard metal rotors. Using them with carbon rotors is not recommended and may damage the rotor.

What is the difference between semi-metallic and resin pads?

Semi-metallic pads offer a blend of resin's quietness and metallic's durability. Resin pads are quieter and modulate better initially but wear faster. Metallic pads offer longer life and better heat resistance but can be noisier.

Do these pads come in pairs?

Yes, Jagwire brake pads are sold in sets for one brake caliper, meaning you get two pads per package.

Troubleshooting

Brakes are noisy (squealing)

Ensure pads and rotors are clean and free of contaminants. Bed in the pads properly by performing several moderate stops. Check that the brake pads are aligned correctly within the caliper.

Reduced braking power

Check for rotor contamination or wear. Inspect brake pads for excessive wear; replace if worn down. Ensure the brake caliper is properly aligned with the rotor and that the brake line is not leaking.

Brake fade during long descents

This can occur with heavy use. Allow the brakes to cool. For persistent issues, consider higher-performance pads designed for extreme conditions or ensure your rotor is adequately sized.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent all-around braking performance for daily use.
  • Quieter operation compared to pure metallic pads.
  • More durable than standard resin pads.
  • Good value for the performance offered.
  • Direct upgrade for many popular SRAM models.

Cons

  • May not provide the ultimate stopping power for extreme downhill or competitive racing.
  • Performance can be slightly reduced in very wet or muddy conditions compared to specialized pads.
  • Not compatible with all brake systems; requires checking compatibility list.
  • The aluminium material (on some variants) might have different heat dissipation than steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These pads are primarily designed for SRAM brake systems. Key compatible models include SRAM Level (Ultimate, TLM, TL, T, DB5, DB3, DB1), Avid Elixir (R, CR, CR Mag, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, XX, XX World Cup), and Red/Force/Rival eTap AXS HRD (2-piece rotor models, 2019+). Always verify your specific brake model against the compatibility list before purchasing.

Setup: Installation typically involves removing the wheel, unfastening the old brake pads from the caliper, inserting the new Jagwire pads, and reassembling. Refer to your specific brake manufacturer's service manual for detailed instructions, as caliper designs can vary.

Care: Keep the brake pads and rotor clean. Avoid contact with lubricants or solvents. If the pads become contaminated, they may need to be replaced. Periodically inspect pads for wear and clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol if necessary.
