Cartridge-style rim brake pads with adjustable toe-in screws and multi-compound rubber for alloy rims

Brake Pads

Bicycle brake pads convert kinetic energy into heat via friction materials (resin, sintered, or semi-metallic) matched to rotor/rim composition—with compound hardness, cooling fins, and wear indicators critical for modulation, noise reduction, and longevity across road/MTB systems.

Tips: "Never use resin pads on carbon rims—overheating delaminates the rim. Sintered pads destroy alloy rims; match compounds precisely."
