Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these carbon brake pads compatible with all bicycle wheel rims?

A: These brake pads are specifically designed for carbon fibre wheel rims on road bikes and folding bicycles. The cork + rubber compound is formulated to be gentle on carbon surfaces while still providing excellent stopping performance. They are not recommended for standard aluminium rims.

Q: How do I replace or clean the rubber brake block?

A: Maintenance is straightforward — simply remove the retaining screw on the brake shoe to access the rubber block. You can clean it directly or slide in a fresh rubber block without needing to replace the entire caliper shoe assembly, making upkeep quick and cost-effective.

Q: Do these brake pads perform well in wet or rainy conditions?

A: Yes. The special drainage groove design channels water away from the braking surface, helping maintain firm, responsive braking even on slippery, rain-soaked roads or in adverse weather conditions.

Q: What quantity is included in one purchase?

A: Each purchase includes 1 pair (2 brake pads) — enough to replace the pads on one wheel position (front or rear). For a full bike replacement, you may wish to order two pairs.
