Cycling brake pads 

Brake pads are a key part of a bicycle's braking system. They are located in the brake calipers and together with the brake levers are responsible for stopping the bike. These pads are designed to have maximum braking efficiency and ensure safe and reliable braking.

Types of brake pads

There are two main types of brake pads used on a bicycle:

  • disc brake pads
  • pads for rim brakes

Brake pads for disc brakes

These pads are designed for bicycles equipped with disc brakes. Disc brakes are popular on mountain bikes and some road bikes. Disc brake pads are made of composite materials that have excellent braking ability and resistance to wear . They can have different material compositions, such as metallic or semi-synthetic, to suit different driving conditions.

Brake pads for rim brakes

These pads are intended for bicycles equipped with rim brakes. Rim brakes are more often used on road bikes and some older models . Rim brakes create friction between the pads and the braking surfaces on the rim, causing the bike to slow down and stop . Rim brake pads can be made from a variety of materials, such as:

  • rubber
  • metal
  • or combinations thereof

What to think about with brake pads?

It is important that the brake pads are in good condition and continuously checked. Worn pads have reduced braking efficiency and can pose a risk to the safety of riding a bicycle . If you need to replace the pads, it is important to choose the right type and quality pads that are suitable for your specific type of bicycle brakes. By regular maintenance and replacement of pads, you can ensure that your bike will have reliable brakes and you will have better control over its driving characteristics.
