When to replace your brake pads?
Dymoece recommends that the brake material of the brake pad does not become thinner than 0.9 mm, but it is certainly better to replace it sooner. My personal rule is that the pads must not become thinner than a penny piece. You will also know that they are far too thin worn as soon as the brake pad spring touches the rotor. In this case, you know that you had to replace the brake pads some time ago!
How to choose bicycle disc brake pads?
In my opinion, you should use metallic receipts if:
- They are heavy.
- Drive downhill.
- The conditions are wet, muddy etc.
- They are lightweight.
- Drive in dry conditions.
- You like a lot of initial grip.
- Your driving is less brake loaded, i.e. dirt jump / street, XC etc.
Although I have now recommended the use of brake pads, you must choose the brake pads according to your driving style. The list listed above should be considered as a recommendation and not used as a strict rule.
