Avid Brake Pads

No, these specific 20R pads are designed exclusively for linear-pull brakes. Please verify that your current brake system is a linear-pull (V-brake) style before purchasing.

You should replace your pads if the grooves on the braking surface have worn away, if the pad material is unevenly worn, or if you notice a significant decrease in stopping power. If you see metal showing through the rubber compound, replace them immediately.

Typically, these are sold as a set for one brake caliper. You will likely need to purchase two sets if you are replacing the pads on both the front and rear wheels of your bicycle.

These pads are intended for use with standard aluminum alloy rims. Using them on carbon fiber rims can cause damage to the braking surface and is not recommended.

No, these pads are designed for a straightforward installation using standard tools. You will generally only need an Allen key or wrench to remove the old pads and secure the new ones into the brake arm.
