Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These pads are compatible with SRAM brake systems including Apex 1, CX1, Force 1, Force 22, Rival 22, Red 22 (B1), Red eTap HRD (2016-2019), Red eTap AXS HRD Monoblock (2019), S700 (B1), S900 HRD, Level Ultimate (A1), and Level TLM (A1). Crucially, always check your brake rotor. If a rotor is labeled "For Resin Pads Only," these organic pads are the correct choice. Do NOT use these pads with rotors designed only for metallic or sintered compounds.
Installation: Installation typically involves removing the wheel, then the old brake pads from the caliper. Ensure the new pads are oriented correctly before reassembling. Refer to your specific brake system's manual for detailed instructions.
Care: Keep brake surfaces clean. After riding in wet or muddy conditions, rinse the rotors and calipers with water and allow them to dry. Avoid using degreasers or lubricants near the braking surfaces. Regularly inspect pads for wear.
