Product Information

Full details

The EBC CFA370 Green compound brake pads are designed for cross-country riders who need reliable stopping power in diverse off-road conditions. These British-made organic resin pads offer a softer compound that provides excellent bite on both hardened and non-hardened discs, though riders should note that the organic material results in a medium-length pad life compared to sintered alternatives.

FAQs

Are these pads compatible with all Shimano brakes?

These are designed for specific Shimano systems. Please verify your caliper model matches the CFA370 compatibility list.

Can I use these on stainless steel rotors?

Yes, the organic compound is safe for both hardened and non-hardened discs, including stainless steel.

How do I know when to replace them?

Replace the pads when the friction material thickness drops below 1mm or if braking performance becomes inconsistent.

Do I need to bed-in these organic pads?

Yes, a proper bed-in procedure is required to ensure the pads mate correctly with your existing rotors.

Are these pads better for mud than metallic pads?

Organic pads are generally quieter, but metallic pads typically last longer in abrasive, muddy, or gritty environments.

Troubleshooting

Brakes feel spongy or pull to the bar

The system may have air trapped in the lines. Bleed the hydraulic brake lines according to the manufacturer's manual.

Brakes are making a squealing noise

Ensure the rotor is clean. If contaminated with oil or grease, clean with high-quality disc brake cleaner.

Persistent brake drag

Check that the new retraction springs are correctly seated and that the caliper pistons are not stuck.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior stopping power with a softer, organic feel
  • Safe to use on all types of brake discs
  • Includes updated hardware to prevent rotor drag
  • Consistent performance in varied off-road terrain

Cons

  • Medium pad life cycle due to softer compound
  • May wear faster in extreme mud or gritty conditions
  • Not intended for heavy-duty downhill or enduro racing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these pads, remove your wheel and release the old pad retaining pin or clip. Slide the old pads out and clean the interior of the caliper with a bike-specific brake cleaner to remove any dust or grease. Ensure you install the new EBC retraction springs provided in the kit to maintain optimal clearance. Once the new pads are seated, it is essential to perform a 'bed-in' procedure: find a safe, flat area and perform several controlled stops from moderate speed to transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor. This process optimizes the braking surface and prevents uneven wear. Always store spare pads in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption in the organic material.
