Brake pads for rim brakes
Compounds and material
Brake pads for rim brakes are available in different compounds. Soft compounds brake well in wet conditions but wear out faster. Harder compounds last longer and are ideal for dry weather. The choice of brake pad material affects both braking power and wear on the rim.
Types of rim brakes
Brake pads are available for different types of rim brakes, including sidepull, centerpull, and cantilever brakes. Sidepull and centerpull brakes are used on road bikes and city bikes. Cantilever brakes are used on cyclocross and touring bikes. Always check which mounting type your bicycle requires.
Wear and replacement
Brake pads wear down with use and must be replaced regularly to maintain safe braking. A worn brake pad has less braking power and can damage the rim. Check brake pads periodically, especially on city bikes that ride frequently in wet conditions.
Compatibility
Brake pad mounting differs between brake brands and types. Check which type of brake is on your bicycle before purchasing. For disc brakes, disc brake pads are used instead. Braking force is transmitted via brake cables and brake levers.
For optimal braking results, brake pads must be clean and free of oil and grease. Clean braking surfaces with brake cleaner for optimal friction. Also check the tires for sufficient grip during braking.
