2 Pairs Avid BB5 Mechanical Disc Brake Pads

When should brake pads be replaced? Dymoece recommends replacing the pad's braking material when it wears down to 0.9 mm, but it's also a good idea to replace them earlier than that. Personally, I have a rule not to let the pads wear down thinner than the thickness of a dime. If you notice the pad spring making contact with the rotor, it means that the pads have worn down too much and should have been replaced earlier.

How do you choose bicycle disc brake pads? In my opinion, you should use metallic pads if: - You are heavy - You ride downhill - Conditions are wet or muddy, etc. - You should use resin pads or semi-metallic pads if: - You are light - Conditions are dry - You prefer a lot of initial grab - Your riding style is less demanding on brakes, e.g. dirt jump/street, XC, etc. Although I have suggested pads for you to use, ultimately, you should make your own choices based on your riding style. The above lists should be seen as a starting point, not strict rules. BB5 pads provide comfortable and powerful braking.

BB5 brake pads also have a short break-in period, are stable, durable, and offer excellent power modulation. They are also perfect compatible with sram avid BB5 mechanical disc brakes.
