Universal Threaded Post Bicycle Brake Pads – Reliable, All-Weather Stopping Power for V-Brake Systems

This pair of Universal Threaded Post Bicycle Brake Pads is an essential, high-quality component for maintaining the safety and performance of your rim brake system. Constructed from a durable rubber/composite material, these pads are engineered to provide consistent and reliable stopping power across various weather conditions.

The pads feature an integrated threaded post with a hex nut, allowing for secure mounting and precise adjustment of the toe-in and angle against the wheel rim. The surface includes integrated channels or grooves, which are specifically designed to channel water, mud, and debris away from the rim during braking, ensuring that braking efficacy is maintained, even in wet conditions. Their design ensures universal compatibility with most V-Brake and threaded-post cantilever systems.

Key Benefits

• Consistent Braking: Durable rubber/composite material ensures reliable stopping performance in wet and dry conditions.

• Water/Debris Channels: Integrated grooves guide water and mud away from the rim surface, maintaining braking efficiency.

• Secure Threaded Post: Allows for precise toe-in adjustment and secure mounting to the brake arm.

• Universal Compatibility: Designed to fit most V-brake and threaded-post cantilever systems.

• Long Pad Life: High-quality compound offers extended wear resistance over generic pads.

Perfect For

• Routine replacement of worn brake pads on mountain, hybrid, and commuter bikes.

• Maintenance and repair of V-brake systems.

• Cyclists who ride frequently in rainy or muddy conditions.

• General bicycle repair workshops.

Application Instructions

• Removal: Loosen and remove the hex nut holding the old pad to the brake arm.

• Installation: Slide the new pad’s threaded post through the hole in the brake arm.

• Adjustment: Position the pad to contact the rim evenly and adjust the toe-in (front of the pad touching slightly before the back) to eliminate squealing.

• Securing: Tighten the hex nut firmly with a wrench, ensuring the pad stays correctly positioned.

Pro Tips

• Always “toe-in” the pads slightly (front touches first) to eliminate the common squealing noise during braking.

• Clean the wheel rims regularly to remove brake dust and grime, which can embed in the pads and reduce stopping power.

• Replace pads when the pad material is worn down to the wear indicators or before the metal backing touches the rim.

• Check the brake cable tension after installing new pads.
