brake pads

Fibrax Xtreme wet weather pads really bring budget stoppers up to scratch without running up an overdraft. They're not just for side-pulls or centre-pulls either – there's a version for V brakes. Folks with ceramic or carbon rims will need to look elsewhere though since they're only designed for conventional alloy rims.

Marketed as a road series, Jagwire Pro Cantilever pads aren’t compatible with the latest generation of wide-arm cross-type brakes but they are the perfect performance perk for older Shimano M-system brakes and others employing 7mm thread bolts. The cartridge design means they can be upgraded for something condition-specific should you prefer, but the standard compound has inspiring confidence in all weathers.

Jagwire’s Pro Road Cartridge pads inspire confidence in all weathers and thanks to universal fit they’re sound replacements/upgrades for mid range callipers. However, soft or dual compounds better serve riders nudging 90Kg-especially those regularly riding in foul weather.
