●?????????????? - The Corki Cycles disc brake pads are built to improve the power of your braking and ensure a longer life than other brake pads. It is inevitable that you will need to replace your pair of brake pads, but before you do so you want plenty of use. A pair of disc brake pads need to be durable, wear-resistant, and long-lasting. At Corki Cycles we know there is a science to disc brake pads.
●?????????????? - When choosing new or replacement disc brake pads, the sizing/compatibility and material are most important. The brake pad material affects the use, wear, and life of the brake pads. At Corki Cycles we offer 4 different materials to match the different styles of riding.
●???????????????? - Choose a resin/organic pad for casual riding, a semi-metallic pair of disc brake pads for more frequent use, and multi-metallic/sintered or copper brake pads for more aggressive riding. Multi-metallic/sintered or copper disc brake pads are perfect for more aggressive riding like downhill.
●???????????????????? - When youre driving your car you want responsive and quick-reacting brakes. The same applies to your bicycle. The Corki Cycles disc brake pads are the perfect thickness for greater longevity and wear resistance. Yet for those needing split reaction breaking and greater responsiveness on the trails our disc brake pads perform every time.
●?????????????????????????? - Before ordering check your current brake pads for compatibility, or check online to match the brand and make with the correct pads before buying. The Corki Cycles disc brake pad pair is compatible with: TRP Tektro, Shimano Deore Br-M575, M525, M515, T615, T675, M505, M495, M486, M485, M475, M465, M447, M446, M445, M416, M415, M395, M375, M315, M355, C601, and C501.
●?????????????????????? - To install firstly remove your front and rear wheel. Remove the old, worn brake pads from the front and rear calipers. Check your pistons and do an overall caliper health check first. Check the quality of the brake cable or hydraulic hose before installing the new disc brake pads. Using a flat tool push the pistons back ready to install the new pads.
●???????????????????????? -Insert the new brake pads correctly and secure them inside the caliper with the spring and pin. Re-attach your wheel and check the disc rotor positioning. Make sure there is no friction with the new brake pads when the brakes are not in use. If there is some friction or the disc rotor is hard to move you may need to file the pads very slightly. Alternatively, you can wait after a few rides for this to wear down.

How to Choose Bike Disc Brake Pads ?
- If you do not know whether it is compatible with your brakes, please directly look at the shape of your original brake pads. If the shape is the same as the original brake pad shape, you can use it.
- These resin and semi-metallic pads are for lighter weight riders, and riding where lots of brakes are not required, like cross country, and riding in flatter areas. They also have a large amount of initial grab and are much quieter. I know I hate brake squeal, and Im sure you do too. One big disadvantage of these pads is that they wear out quicker. Also dont run these pads when it is muddy, wet, or even very dusty conditions.
- These metal pads and sintered copper-based pads will be better if you are a heavier rider. These pads are recommended for riding in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions. Although they are more noisy, and do not have as much of an initial bite as organic pads, you will definitely notice the increased performance at the end of your run.
Bicycle Disc Brake pads too thick to fit？
If you find that the brake pads are too thick to fit, it may be caused by two problems:
- If your brakes have been used for a long time, lead to the clearance becomes smaller due to the brake fluid or the brake cylinder or other reason and cannot be installed.
- The second possibility is that the thickness of the brake pad deviates from the normal tolerance range, which is rarely the case.
The solution: Recalibrate the brakes or grind off a little bit of the brake pad surface.
