Clarks CP-522 Cartridge Pad

The cartridge system allows you to slide out worn rubber inserts and slide in new ones without removing the entire brake pad assembly from your bike. This saves you from having to re-align your brakes every time you need fresh stopping power.

The black inserts are typically designed for standard, all-weather performance, while the red compound is often formulated for a different friction profile, such as improved stopping power or better performance in wet conditions. Having both allows you to test which feel suits your specific riding style and local environment.

These pads use a threadless post mounting system with an offset orientation. They are designed for standard rim brakes that accept this specific post style, so check your current brake calipers to ensure they are compatible with threadless, offset-post pads.

These pads measure 70mm in length, which is a standard size for most road and hybrid bike rim brakes. This length provides ample surface area for consistent contact with the rim.

This pack includes one pair of cartridge pads, which covers one wheel (either front or rear). If you are replacing the pads on both wheels, you will need to purchase two sets.
