Apex/Force/Level/T/TL/Red/Rival Disc Brake Pads - Small

To ensure your Avid brakes work perfectly, regularly check the brake pads for wear and replace them when needed. Organic compound pads offer quieter braking and better modulation as they're softer. On the other hand, metallic pads are great at dissipating heat and last a bit longer. Each pad set comes with two pads, one retraction spring, and a mounting bolt, which is enough for one brake. If you're looking to save weight, opt for the aluminum backing plate. Refer to the Pad Selection guide to pick the right pad size for your brakes and the most suitable pad material for your riding style.

Using these brake pads is easy. First, make sure your brakes are clean before installing the new pads. Remove the old pads and replace them with the new ones from the set, using the included mounting bolt to secure them. Attach the retraction spring as well. When riding, pay attention to how your brakes feel. If you notice any unusual noise or reduced braking performance, it might be time to check the pads. For maintenance, regularly inspect the pads for wear. If they're worn down, replace them promptly. Clean the brake components periodically to keep them in good condition. And always refer to the Pad Selection guide to ensure you're using the right pads for your specific brakes and riding needs.
