FAQs

What is the difference between Organic and Sintered pads?

Organic pads offer better modulation and quieter operation but wear faster and can fade under high heat. Sintered pads provide more power, better heat resistance, and longer life but can be noisier and may wear rotors faster.

How often should I replace my brake pads?

Replacement frequency depends heavily on riding conditions, terrain, and braking habits. Inspect them regularly; replace when the friction material is worn down to approximately 1mm or less.

Can I use these pads with any Avid Code brakes?

These pads are specifically compatible with Avid MY11 Code models and SRAM Code models (RSC/R). Always check your brake's specific model number for compatibility.

Do these pads come in a pair?

The quantity per pack is 1 pc(s), meaning each pack contains one brake pad. You will need to purchase two pads per caliper, so two packs per bike.

What is the purpose of the stainless steel backplate?

The stainless steel backplate provides durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring the longevity and consistent performance of the brake pad.

How do I bed in new brake pads?

After installation, find a safe, gradual downhill slope. Ride down, applying brakes intermittently but firmly without locking the wheels. Repeat this process 10-20 times. This transfers material from the pad to the rotor, creating an optimal braking surface.

Troubleshooting

Squealing or noisy brakes

Ensure pads and rotors are clean. Check for proper pad alignment within the caliper. Bed in the pads thoroughly. Consider trying the alternative compound (Organic or Sintered) if noise persists.

Reduced braking power

Inspect pads for wear and replace if necessary. Clean rotors and pads. Check for air in the brake line (requires bleeding the brakes). Ensure the correct pad type is installed.

Brake lever feels spongy

This typically indicates air in the hydraulic system. The brakes will need to be bled. Ensure all connections are tight.

Pads not retracting fully

Check that the brake pistons are moving freely and are clean. Ensure pad alignment is correct. A slight drag is normal, but significant resistance indicates an issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These pads are specifically designed for Avid Code RSC, Avid Code R, SRAM Code RSC, and SRAM Code R brake systems. Always verify your brake model before purchasing.

Installation:

  1. Ensure your bike is securely supported and the wheel is removed.
  2. Carefully remove the old brake pads according to your brake manufacturer's instructions (usually involves removing a retaining pin or clip).
  3. Clean the caliper interior and piston area gently with isopropyl alcohol.
  4. Install the new Avid Code disc brake pads, ensuring they are seated correctly.
  5. Reinstall the retaining pin or clip.
  6. Replace the wheel and perform a brake bed-in procedure (repeatedly apply and release the brake lever while spinning the wheel, gradually increasing pressure) to ensure optimal performance.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect pads for wear. Replace when the friction material is thin.
  • Keep the braking surface of the rotor clean. Use a dedicated disc brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
  • Avoid contaminating pads with lubricants or excessive water.
