Bicycle brake parts — brake pads, disc rotors, calipers and levers.
Brakes are the most important safety system on a bike, so worn brake parts must be replaced on time. Brake pads wear down with use, especially in wet and muddy conditions, and squealing, grinding or weak braking are signs they need replacing. Disc brake pads come in resin and metallic compounds, while rim brake pads fit V-brakes and caliper brakes. Disc rotors wear and warp over time. Brake cables, housings and hydraulic hoses also need replacement. Check the brake type, pad shape and rotor size before ordering, as parts differ between brands and models. Bed in new pads for best performance.
