BRAKE PADS
It goes without saying that your brakes are one of your bike’s most important components. And your brake pads, also referred to as blocks or shoes, are also crucial because they have a huge impact on how effective your braking system will be. Especially in wet conditions.
Brake pads are seen as consumable components. This means that they wear out over time and eventually require replacement. If yours are old or worn out, they won’t work properly, not just compromising the safety of the rider but possibly causing damage to your bicycle as well.
We also recommend that, if you’re using rim brakes, you need to schedule frequent inspections to inspect your rims for wear. This is because brake pads’ grinding effect slowly erodes the metal surface, to the point where you may need new rims or even new wheels.
Bike Addict has an excellent range of different brake pads to suit the riding styles of different cyclists, all priced very competitively. Choose from Definitive Bikes’ compound brake pads with extreme durability, Formula, Hopes’, which allows for outstanding stopping power even at very low temperature, Shimano, or SRAM, all with something essential to recommend them.
When your brake pads get worn down past a certain point, whether this is in terms of wear grooves or something else, it’s time to invest in a new set, and Bike Addict is just the place to do it. We’ll help you figure out which kind of brakes you’re using if you don’t know and help you determine what you need by looking at the riding conditions you prefer, whether it’s a rim type you need. We also take the manufacturer into account.
And don’t forget, Bike Addict offers free shipping not just on bikes over R3 000*, but on accessories over R1 000* as well.
