Bicycle Brake Pads for Disc and Rim Brakes
Brake pads are wear items, and the difference between fresh pads and worn-out ones is the difference between a controlled stop and a panic moment. Resin, sintered, and rim-brake compounds each suit different conditions, and matching the pad to your caliper is critical for power and lever feel. Rogue Powersports stocks pads for every common brake system, from XC race to e-bike.
Brake Pads by Caliper Type
- Shimano Disc Pads: Resin, metal, and finned pads for XT, SLX, Deore, and Dura-Ace calipers. Finned alloy backs shed heat on long descents to prevent pad fade.
- SRAM & Avid Disc Pads: Organic and sintered pads for Code, Guide, Level, and DB calipers. Sintered metallic compounds handle wet-weather power and e-bike heat.
- Hayes, Magura & TRP Pads: Replacement pads for Hayes Dominion, Magura MT5/MT7, and TRP DH-R Evo calipers. Match pad shape to your specific caliper, not just the brand.
- Rim Brake Pads: Kool-Stop, SwissStop, and Shimano cartridge pads for road calipers and V-brakes. Salmon, BlackPrince, and Dual compounds tune wet-weather grip.
- E-Bike Heavy-Duty Pads: Sintered metallic and ceramic-blend pads from Galfer, EBC, and Magura survive the heat of repeated heavy stops on Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Resin vs. metallic vs. semi-metallic disc brake pads?
Resin pads are quiet, gentle on rotors, but wear faster and fade in heat — best for casual road. Metallic pads bite hardest and last longest, but louder and harder on rotors — best for MTB/wet conditions. Semi-metallic balances both.
How often do bike disc brake pads need replacing?
Inspect every 1,000 miles. Replace when pad material is under 1.5mm thick. Aggressive MTB riders may go through pads in a season; commuters get 1-2 years. Always replace as pairs (left + right).
How do I bed in new bike brake pads?
20-30 progressive stops from 15-5 mph, then 5 hard stops from 25 mph. Don't lock the wheels. Bedding transfers pad material to the rotor for proper friction — skipping leads to weak braking and squeal.
Why are my bike disc brakes squealing?
Common causes: contaminated rotors (touched with oily fingers), glazed pads, misaligned caliper. Clean rotors with isopropyl alcohol, scuff pad surface with sandpaper, re-bed. If glazed badly, replace pads.
Are aftermarket disc pads worth it?
Established brands (Shimano, SRAM, Jagwire, EBC) match or exceed OEM. Budget no-name pads often have weaker compounds and shorter life. Stick with brands that match the rotor manufacturer for best results.
